Or, you could try a user-defined format. For example:

proc format; value nice . = '00000000' other = |best8.|; run;

data _null_;

put number nice8.;

run;

The trick is to tack on your desired format for missing to a standard SAS format, in this case BEST8., but it could be anything.

Good luck. - Jack --
