Is it a number or character?

 

new_var= catt("(", put(old_var/100, percent8.1), ")");

One possibility:

 

newvar = '(' || put(a, 3.) || '%)';

 

See if that's what you need.

 The code newvar = '(' || put(a, 3.) || '%)'; works for me as long as 'a' values are not zero.

for example when a=17,  I am  getting 17 ( 28%) what i need.

 

In some observation there are values i need to concatenate zero number also.

for example when a=0,  I need values 0 (  0%). But iam getting  0 ( %). Please help.

 

Thank you.

Is the variable you're using missing in that circumstance or is it 0?

I'm going to guess it's missing. You can use the COALESCE() function to assign the value 0 when the variable is missing.

 

newvar = '(' || put(coalesce(a, 0), 3.) || '%)';

The variable is zero. Thank you

Just the fact that you could possibly get 17 ( 28%) means that your program is a little different than what I imagine it to be.  Show us exactly what is in your program (just the one or two relevant lines of code), and what the data values are to generate the wrong result.

If it was 0, it should work. Make sure you have no formats applied to the data that's causing 0 to appear as missing.  

 

data have;
x=0;
y="("||put(x, 3.)||"%)";
run;
proc print; run;

Output:


Obs	x	y
1	0	( 0%)

Also without data we have no idea what your resulting report actually looks like.

 

Please describe how it doesn't look right.
