Syntax
Required Argument
- w
-
specifies the width
of the output field. When you specify a w value of 1 through 15, the real binary number is truncated to a
fixed-point integer before being converted to hexadecimal notation.
When you specify 16 for the w value, the floating-point value of the number is used. In other
words, the number is not truncated.
Example
The following example
uses the input value of 123.
data _null_;
x=123;
put x=hex8.;
run;
