When
the DECIMALCONV= system option is set to STDIEEE, the output that
is written using this format might differ slightly from previous releases. For more information,
see DECIMALCONV= System Option in SAS System Options: Reference. |
Syntax
Syntax Description
w
specifies the width
of the output field.
| Default |
8 |
| Range |
2–20 |
| Tip |
Make w large enough
to produce the desired results. To obtain a complete time value with
three decimal places, you must allow at least 12 spaces: eight spaces
to the left of the decimal point, one space for the decimal point,
and three spaces for the decimal fraction of seconds.
|
d
specifies the number
of digits to the right of the decimal point in the seconds value.
This argument is optional.
| Default |
0 |
| Range |
0–19 |
| Requirement |
must be less than w |
Details
The TIMEw.d format
writes SAS time values in the form hh:mm:ss.ss:
hh
is an integer.
Note: If hh is
a single digit, TIMEw.d places
a leading blank before the digit. For example, the TIMEw.d. format
writes 9:00 instead of 09:00.
mm
is an integer between
00 and 59 that represents minutes.
ss.ss
is the number of seconds
between 00 and 59, with the fraction of a second following the decimal
point.
Comparisons
The TIMEw.d format
is similar to the HHMMw.d format
except that TIMEw.d includes
seconds.
The TIMEw.d format
writes a leading blank for a single-hour digit. The TODw.d format
writes a leading zero for a single-hour digit.
Examples
Example 1
This example uses the
input value of 59083, which is the SAS time value that corresponds
to 4:24:43 p.m.
Example 2
This example uses the
input value of 32083, which is the SAS time value that corresponds
to 8:54:43 a.m.
