| Alignment: |

-
w
-
specifies the width of the output field.
| Default: |
1 |
| Range: |
1-32 |
| Tip: |
Allow enough space to write
the value, the decimal point, and a minus sign, if necessary. |
-
d
-
specifies the number of digits to the right
of the decimal point in the numeric value. This argument is optional.
| Default: |
0 |
| Range: |
0-31 |
| Tip: |
If d
is 0 or you omit d, Zw.d writes the value without a decimal
point. |
The Zw.d format writes standard numeric values one digit per byte
and fills in 0s to the left of the data value.
The Zw.d format rounds to the nearest number that will fit in the
output
field. If w.d is
too large to fit, SAS might shift the decimal to the BESTw.
format. The Zw.d
format writes negative numbers with leading minus signs. In addition, it right
aligns before writing and pads the output with leading zeros.
The Zw.d format is similar to the w.d
format except that Zw.d
pads right-aligned output with 0s instead of blanks.
