KTRUNCATE(argument, number,
length)
|
- argument
-
specifies any SAS character expression.
- number
-
is numeric.
- length
-
is an integer.
The KTRUNCATE function truncates a full-length number (stored as a double) to a smaller number of bytes, as
specified in length and pads the truncated bytes
with 0s. The truncation and subsequent expansion duplicate the effect of storing
numbers in less than full length and then reading them.
