Hey, Guys,

Please look at the two short SAS program and correspondence outputs.
Could anyone explain why in the first output, sas automatically add two
decimal place in the first observation and automatically cut the second
observation to two decimal places.
in the second output, why sas automatically cut to 4 decimal places?

BTW, I am using sas -8.2.

Thanks a lot.
Mindy
