Hello. I have a question on format in SAS. Below is my code

correction_am is format numeric 8. How do I change this to Comma10.2 or Dollar10.2 in SAS in data step or proc sql code? I have tried various methods that did not work.

I have tried below code which worked but did not retain the two decimal places.

You need count the commas (and dollar sign) when setting the width.

1234567890123456
2084608.44
$2,084,608.44

Try DOLLAR13.2 or increase the width even more if your values can be larger than $9,999,999,99
