Hi SAS Forum,
Could anyone please let me know how to display leading zeros in a numeric field in the output SAS data set.
data have ;
input acctnum month ;
cards;
111 05
222 05
222 05
222 06
222 07
333 09
333 09
;
run;
I wanted to display all the values for “month” variable as 05, 06, 07 etc in the output SAS dataset instead of displaying as 5,6,7 etc.
But when I run above program, all values for variable month are displayed as 5,6,7 etc.
Documentation provides below approach but this approach just write values into the log without producing an output data set.
%macro test;
%do i=1 %to 100;
%let val=%sysfunc(putn(&i,z3.));
%put &val;
%end;
%mend;
%test
Thanks
Mirisa
