Have you created some sort of character variable to hold a composite value like that?

If so, the only possibility of getting this to work at all would involve displaying the value with a fixed width font like Courier or SAS Monospace and then inserting blanks into the data value.

If not, then show your proc report code.

yes, it's a concatenated char variable, so maybe I should fixed it in a dataset before ? i'm not good with proc report

Agreeing with @ballardw . You seem to have missed his point, character strings cannot be aligned on decimal points or parenthesis unless you use a fixed width font like Courier. Where the character string is created (data set or PROC REPORT or anywhere else) is irrelevant to this problem.
