Hello,

I'd like to know the way of setting decimal point in proc fcmp.

The following didn't work well.

(simplified example)

proc fcmp outlib= ....

   function decimalp(a, b);

      c = put(a, b);

      return(c);

   endsub;

run;

options cmplib=...;

data test;

   a = 123.456;

   b = 8.1;

   c = decimalp(a,b);

run;

Thank you,

Hide.

You need function putN(source,format,w,d) and you won't need to write your own function.
