You don't have to do anything. The fact that you expressed the constnat on the right hand sign of the assignment using scientific notations has absolutely no effect on the format associated with the variable.

If you see SUMCNT displayed with scientific notation, there is something else influencing it (such as other code in the DATA step or a format stored in a source data set).
