is an integer.

is the number of minutes that range from 00 through 59.

SAS rounds hours and minutes that are based on the value of seconds in a SAS time value.

Comparisons

The HHMMw.d format is similar to the TIMEw.d format except that the HHMMw.d format does not print seconds.

The HHMMw.d format and the TIMEw.d format write a leading blank for the single-hour digit. The TODw.d format writes a leading zero for a single-hour digit.

Example

The example table uses the input value of 46796, which is the SAS time value that corresponds to 12:59:56 PM.

	----+----1
select put(46796,hhmm.);	13:00
select put(46796,hhmm8.2);	12:59.93

In the first example, SAS rounds up the time value four seconds based on the value of seconds in the SAS time value. In the second example, by adding a decimal specification of 2 to the format shows that fifty-six seconds is 93% of a minute.
