How do i change the alpha value from .05 to .005 in proc corr when determining the p value for the significance of the correlation coefficient?

I don't see where PROC CORR produces a statistic based upon 0.05 as a threshold.

 

It does produce a prob > |r| which, if it is less than 0.05, would reject the null hypothesis with alpha=0.05. So changing this to 0.005 is pretty simple.

The only alpha change possible is within the plots. Is that what you'd like changed? If so, the PLOTS statements support changing the alpha as needed.
