Move deimal 2 places to the right

I'm having trouble finding out which format will get the results I am looking for.

I'd like to convert a number like this 0.032258 to 3.2

Hi @nbwest76  are you asking percent format?

0.032258 is 3.2 %

Multiply by 100 and format? Or apply a percentage format to your variable?

want = x * 100;
format want 8.1;
format x percent12.1;

You can also use the multiplier option in a picture format.

Create a format to simulate percent if you don't want the % sign

proc format;
  picture perc (round)
  low - high ='009.9' (mult=1000);
run;
data x;
input a;
cards;
0.032258 
0.12345
1.2345
;

proc print;
  format a perc.;
run;
