Create a new variable for rounding

[starz4ever2007]

I have the following dataset:

Subject       Score                

1                  3.432

2                  4.83455

3                  6.8333

4                  14.834

and i want: 

Subject       Score                Score_round

1                  3.432                    3

2                  4.83455                5

3                  6.8333                  7

4                  14.234                  14

So far I've only found (but only as an output):

data new;
format score 9.0;
set old;
run;

 I ultimately want a new variable created in the dataset called score_round (from the score variable)

data have;
input Subject       Score  ;              
cards;
1                  3.432
2                  4.83455
3                  6.8333
4                  14.834
5                  14.234 
;
data want;
set have;
score_round=round(score);
run;

did you try the round function?

score_round=round(score);

thank you!! thought it was gonna be something more complicated 🙂

Although you can create a new variable that is the rounded value, perhaps you really want a format to show the rounded value rather than a new variable? There's good reasons to do things your way, and there's good reasons to NOT do things your way. It depends.
