Hi,

maybe this:

proc sql;
create table want as
select 
    var,
    value format best32.,
    case when value = . then .
         when value < 1 then 0 
         else max(case when value < 1 then 0
             else lengthn(scan(put(value, best32.), 2, ".")) end) 
         end as prec        
from have
group by var;
quit;

What exactly are you trying to do with this code? Are you sure your results for a, b, c, d, e, and f are what you expect?

Is prec supposed to be the precision of value? (If so, how do you get prec = 6 for value = 4?)
