I have a Table with a column numeric : idFiche ...format 17.(numeric ok)
i create a calculate column...idFicheCar with the tools by
i want a data character of 17 characters,
and i write this, in the Panel
PUTC(TableName.idFiche ,$17.)

Try the code example below using the PUT function for a DATA step.

11 data _null_;
12 retain idfiche 2222.2222;
13 idfichec = put(idfiche,17.);
14 putlog _all_;
15 run;

idfiche=2222.2222 idfichec=2222 _ERROR_=0 _N_=1

Hi pantalaimon
For me as a coder this was a learning experience.
What you have to do is replace your expression with:
PUT(TableName.idFiche ,17.)

The result of a PUT statement is always character - but you have to use a numeric format for numeric variables. Formats with a '$' are always for character variables.

Bonne chance
