Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the field that contains the numeric value.

Default: 12

d

specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the numeric value. If the data contain decimal points, the d value is ignored. This argument is optional.

Comparisons

The Ew.d informat is not used extensively because the SAS informat for standard numeric data, the w.d informat, can read numbers in scientific notation. Use Ew.d to permit only scientific notation in your input data.
