I used PROC MEANS to obtain a mean and corresponding 95% CI. I need to output this in a table as XX.XX (XX.XX, XX.XX); i.e. mean (95% CI). I am having difficulties getting a consistent two decimal places. The round() and input(strip(), 5.2), but the trailing zeroes disappear.

Something like this:

 

displayValue = catt(PUT(Mean, 8.2),
                                '(', 
                                  put(lb, 8.2),
                                 ", ", 
                                  put(ub, 8.2),
                                 ")"
                                );

Simply apply an appropriate format

 

data want;
   set have;
   format mean lb ub 8.2;
run;

Show the code you use to create that stuff.

 

Likely you need to specify a format with PUT that uses 2 decimals such as PUT(somevariable, f6.2) which will force two decimals. The format will round the values using typical rounding rules to display the last decimal place.

 

data have;
 input period trt $ mean lb ub @@;
 meanchar = put (mean,5.2);
 lbchar   = put (lb,5.2);
 ubchar   = put (ub,5.2);
