I just need a space!  But i'm not getting one 😞

 

_1=strip(put(mean, 8.1)) ||  " (" || strip(put(std, 10.2)) || ")");

 

so output should look like:  64.0 (11.00) .  But i'm getting 64.0(11.00)    

 

 

Thanks!

Well, it's not possible to test your code since it doesn't work.  But if you were to remove the extra closing parenthesis at the end, it gives the result you are asking for.

You should investigate the CAT, CATT, CATS and CATX functions as well. Then you don't need all the strip function calls

 

data example;
   mean= 64;
   std = 11;
   _1 = catx(' ',put(mean,8.1),cats('(',put(std,10.2),')') );
run;
