PUT_statement help

[V_G_Kakani]

I am using the following PUT statement. The missing value in columns RAIN, TAMX, TMIN and SRAD is -99.0. However, I need it to be -99. Any solution?

PUT LDATE Z5. RAIN 6.1 TMAX 6.1 TMIN 6.1 SRAD 6.1

Something like this might do.

proc format;
  value m99m(default=6) -99='   -99' other=[f6.1];
  run;
data _null_;
   input x;
   put x m99m.;
   cards;
9
-9
-99
89.88
;;;;
   run;
