I used following syntex to format the number to percentage. However for number of 0.858369, it gives 85%. Is there a way to get correct percetage of 0.85%?
proc format library = fmt;
picture pctfmt low-high='000.00%';
run;
Thanks!

Thanks! Jagadish.
However my data mixed of numbers such as 20, 100 and 0.858369. If there way to wark around? Thanks!
in that case you can use the below picture format
proc format fmtlib;
picture val low-<1='9.99%'
1<-high='009%';
run;
Thanks,

What about 1.
Thank you data_null_, please find below my corrected code
proc format fmtlib;
picture val low-<1='9.99%'
1-high='009%';
run;
Thanks,
Jagadish
What about the sign if the value is negative?
Thank you data_null_, updated the picture format to consider the negative values
proc format fmtlib;
picture val low-<0='09.99%' (prefix='-')
0-<1='09.99%'
1-high='009%';
run;
Thanks,
Jagadish
You need to RTM. Look for the round option. You will also need more digit selectors for the larger numbers and what about negative.
