I have a dataset that contains decimal numbers and non-decimal numbers.   When I run a proc print the decimals with trailing zeroes show up following whole digit values, which is odd formatting. Do I need to convert to text strings and then format the numbers using a few formatting lines or is there a single line format command?  Using SAS 9.2.

Default Output

1.01

1.00

format int best.;

Might be what you are looking for. Most formats that use a decimal assignment such as 4.2 will always display the specified number of decimals padding with 0 as needed per your experience.
