Syntax
Syntax Description
w
specifies the width
of the output field.
| Default |
19 |
| Range |
7–40 |
| Tip |
SAS requires a minimum w value
of 13 to write AM or PM. For widths between 10 and 12, SAS writes
a 24-hour clock time.
|
d
specifies the number
of digits to the right of the decimal point in the seconds value.
This argument is optional.
| Range |
0–39 |
| Requirement |
must be less than w |
| Note |
If w–d<
17, SAS truncates the decimal values.
