Subject:      Auto Text to Numeric Conversion?

Is there a simple way to scan all variables for numeric variables
stored as text and convert them to either an appropriate integer or
numeric decimal values? This wouldn't include variables that have
characters and numbers; only numeric values.

Not sure of the correct technical jargon but something where SAS
automatically chooses the "best format"?

Thank You,
Aaron
