Use the FLOOR function to round down to the next integer.

 

data a;
  input have;
  need=floor(have);
datalines;
1.2
0.1
10 123.456 34 5.1111 7.68 10.98 -3.1 -19.0 -4.8 ; proc print; run;

Remember that the floor function gives you the next lower number, so 3.1 yields 3 and -3.1 yields -4.  The int function will give you 3 and -3 respectively.  So, choose the one that meets your specific needs.
