Hi Experts, Hope to seek if my understanding is correct that there is a limitation on the symput function when storing numeric values coming from a txt/csv file. Please see the code below and the outcomes. options symbolgen mlogic mprint; data hash;   infile "z:\desktop\hash.txt";   input hash :best32.;   format hash best32.; run; data _null_;   set hash;   call symput('hash',hash); run; %put &hash; Case 1: Value on hash.txt 1234567890.9 Macro variable hash: 1234567890.9 Case 2: Value on hash.txt 1234567890.91 Macro variable hash: 1234567890.9 Case 3: Value on hash.txt 1234567890.98 Macro variable hash: 1234567891 Am I correct that when it comes to case 3 that even I have read the file with best32. on the dataset it will store 1234567890.98 but when I use symput it would still get rounded on the macro variable. For SAS 9.1.3 it seems that it is defaulted to 12. if I do not specify an informat. Regards, Milton ... View more

Hi Experts, Would like to consult regarding the round function. Given the value 123.456 for a, how come this turns out to be the value when I use the round function. ROUND parameter a = 123.456 Result b = round(a,0.01) 123.46 (ok) b = round(a,0.02) 123.46 (ok) b = round(a,0.03) 123.45 (?) b = round(a,0.04) 123.44 (?) b = round(a,0.05) 123.45 (?) b = round(a,0.06) 123.48 (?) b = round(a,0.07) 123.48 (?) b = round(a,0.08) 123.44 (?) b = round(a,0.09) 123.48 (?) Is there a bug on the round function or is there something I am not aware on how it derives into these results. Thanks! ... View more
