If PROC TEMPLATE is used to create a table that displays numeric variables and a format is applied, a default width of 12 is used if no other format width is specified. This may result in values being truncated in the output. This affects both the traditional SAS listing output and the ODS destinations.

To prevent any truncation, include a width specification with the format, such as

    format=myfmt14.;

This is the intended behavior.
