I don't think that any of the notes in the recent discussion of lengths of
numeric variables mentioned the SAS tech report.....

"Dealing with Numeric Representation Error in SAS Applications"

http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/technote/ts230.html

It's a good reference to have around when thinking about changing the lengths of
 numeric variables.
