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
