Proc Means Output In Desired Format

[sfo]

I am using PRCO MEANS in SAS 9.2 on 10 different variable so I have defined a macro variable like %let var = BWT GENDER RACE etc ...

my following code runs but the value of the variable are coming in informat 12. (example: 69.7597143)

proc means N MEAN STD MEDIAN Q1 Q3 MIN MAX data=perflags;
class Group;
var &var ;
output out = STAT (drop = _TYPE_ _FREQ_) ;
run;

Is there a way I can format all the variables to say 8.3 by using my macro variable and not specifying all the variables ? For example something like format &var 8.3?

You can use MAXDEC=3 to control the number of decimals displayed.
