data test;
if total = -0 then R=0;
run;
This did not convert -0 to 0;
I tried this also
data test;
if total = 0 then R = abs(val0);
run;
Do you really have values that are –0?? I have never seen them. Why bother converting them, anyway?
But your code is off the mark.
How about this untested code:
data test;
set test;
if total= -0 then total=0;
run;

It's has to do with w.d format. I don't know if it is intentional or not but very small negative print as -0.
It's showing as -0, but is probably -0.000009 or something like that.
Try a round function or a floor or ceiling instead depending on what will work based on your other data points.
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
