Percents values in datalines

[Ronein]

Hello

I am trying to create a raw data sat set with percent values.

Why is it not working please?

Data Output1;
infile datalines truncover;
input  score Model $ obligation PCT_obligation ;
format PCT_obligation percent12.1;
cards;
0	a	82.4	        2.8%
0	b	447.6	15.4%
2	a	774.8	26.7%
3	a	603.2	20.8%
4	a	461.5	15.9%
5	a	166.2	5.7%
6	a	88.4 	3.0%
7	a	87.9	        3.0%
8	a	79.9	       2.8%
9	a	26.2	       0.9%
10	a	16.6	       0.6%
11	a	67.4	       2.3%
11	b	2.1	       0.1%
12	a	443.4	 .
12	b	38.3	         .

Use a Percent. Informat like this

Data Output1;
infile datalines truncover;
input score Model $ obligation PCT_obligation:percent12.1;
format PCT_obligation percent12.1;
cards;
0 a 82.4  2.8%
0 b 447.6 15.4%
2 a 774.8 26.7%
3 a 603.2 20.8%
4 a 461.5 15.9%
5 a 166.2 5.7%
