Hello

I am  using format 8.4

What is the reason that I see only 3 digits after point and not 4 digits?

For example: 9581.1728   I see as  9581.173  

What is the way to see 4 digits?

 

data have;
format x_numeric 8.4;
input x_numeric;
cards;
9581.1728
9791.5262
1366.1106

To see a number like 9581.1728 you need 9 spaces, not 8.
