David,

The format does not produce output because leading zeros are suppressed using the 0 picture specification. if you use
0 - < 10 = "000.9%)" ( prefix = "( " )
it should work as desired.

Hello all,

Could anyone tell my why the following format works
for any value above zero but not for 0 (or 0.0
specifically)? I've tried substituting 0.0 in for 0
in the format statement and that fails also.

proc format
picture mypctf
0 - < 10 = "000.0%)" ( prefix = "( " )
10 - < 100 = "000.0%)" ( prefix = "( " )
100 - < 1000 = "000.0%)" ( prefix = "(" )
other = " "
;
run;

Thanks as always!

Dave Ryerson
