We are using different formats like best. , percent. like these i need different fixed formats except date formats
can you kindly let me know what are they?
Hi @thanikondharish,
Do you mean width specifications appended to format names?
When you look through the list of SAS-supplied formats you'll notice that all of them include such a w or w.d specification. Omitting them means using the default value(s). These defaults and the ranges of valid values for w (and d if any) can be found in the documentation of each format. For example, in negparen. the width and number of decimals are not really unspecified, but they default to 6 and 0, respectively. Similarly, best. is equivalent to best12. and percent. is equivalent to percent6. and percent6.0.
You can use w (and, if applicable, even w.d) specifications with user-defined formats as well.
