Hi,
Let say I have:

data test;
w="8,5";
run;

I want to convert the variable w to numeric but to numeric with period and not with comma .
the result should be 8.5.
I wanted to do it only with input function (not to use scan/translate function before).
Is there a way to do it (a appropriate format)?

Thanks in advance
