As required, I need to report the statistics to two decimal places. Here is part of my code:
"
proc means data=college maxdec=2 noprint;
by gender schoolsize;
format gender $gender. schoolsize $size.;
var classrank GPA;
output out=by_data
mean=mean_classrank mean_GPA
median=median_classrank median_GPA
min=min_classrank min_GPA
max=max_classrank max_GPA
nmiss=nmiss_classrank nmiss_GPA
n=n_classrank n_GPA;
run;
"
Here is the part of the list:

It seems that the MAXDEC did not work here. What's wrong? How can I control the decimal places in this report?

Yes.maxdec only is used for display output, not dataset of output.
You need to format the variables in dataset by yourself. Like:
data class;
set sashelp.class;
format _numeric_ best10.2;
run;
