specifies the width of the output field.
| Default: |

SAS requires a minimum w value of 16 to write a SAS datetime value with the date,
hour, and seconds. Add an additional two places to w
and a value to d to return values with optional
decimal fractions of seconds. |
-
d
-
specifies the number of digits to the right
of the decimal point in the seconds value. This argument is optional.
| Requirement: |
must be less than w |
| Range: |
0-39 |
Note: If
w-d< 17, SAS truncates the decimal values. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
