I have a need to output numeric data in a format like COMMAw.d except with spaces instead of commas:

123456789.123456789

outputs as

123 456 789.123 456 789

Is there a built in SAS format for this? I can make it by creating a character variable using put(, commaw.d) and then using translate to change all the commas to spaces, but it would be nice to have a format already. Thanks!
