I need to add leading zero to any number under 10.
data lat;
set clovis_data;
latdeg1=int(latitude);
latdeg2=int((latitude-latdeg1)*60);
latdeg3=round((((latitude-latdeg1)*60)-latdeg2)*60);
run;
I need to add leading zero to any number under 10 for Latdeg2 and Latdeg3.
You can use the format Z2. to make the values appear with a leading zero (or some version of the Zw.d format)
Or you can turn them into character variables and concatenate a zero before the actual value if it is less than 10.
Of the two choices, I prefer the first in most cases, which leaves the number as a numeric variable
so in format Z2 I can make just the number under 10 with a leading zero?
That is the explicit purpose of the z2. format.
2 -> 02
9 -> 09
10 -> 10
100 and up will yield ** and generate a NOTE in the log that the format was too small.
Well, if you have a 0 preceding a number like: 02, its not really a number as such. So the number there is 2. If you want to display that with a preceding 0 then you have two options - apply a format Z2. to that variable - or put the number into Z2 and store it in a character variable. There are plusses and minus to each approach.
Then naming is giving the impression it is about geo.
