Dave,

The correct form of the code is:

   proc format ;
        picture mypctf
          0 - < 10    = "009.0%)" ( prefix = "(  " )
          10 - < 100  = "009.0%)" ( prefix = "( " )
          100 - < 1000  = "009.0%)" ( prefix = "(" )
          other       = " "
          ;
   run;

More than 0 behaved in an odd manner with the original code.
Take a look at 0.1.

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!
