The code looks reasonable (although I prefer explicit arrays rather than
implicit arrays).  Some sort of rounding error seems unlikely, but you might
want to change your error message to:
   PUT _ALL_ 'P-value greater than 0.05 but sign is *'; to see what value is in
the odd rr variable.  This will dump all six RR variables, but you can find the
bad one using the value of _I_.
 
The simplest way I can see for this to happen is if SIG1-SIG6 are already
defined in TEMP1 and some of them happen to have the value * already.  You might
want to add an ELSE clause:
   if rr =< 0.05 and rr ne . then signn='*';
   ELSE SIGNN=' ';

         Hi, SAS-users,
        I am trying sign a star  to those value less than and equal to 0.05,
but it seems stars are also signed to those of value greater than 0.05.
Does any body know what happen? Thank you advance.
 
SAS CODE:
 
 
data temp; set temp1;
keep  rr1  rr2   rr3 rr4   rr5 rr6
                    sig1 sig2 sig3 sig4 sig5 sig6;
array rr      rr1-rr6;
array signn $ sig1-sig6;
      do over rr;
      if rr =< 0.05 and rr ne . then signn='*';
 
      if rr gt 1 then put ' P-value is greater than 1';
 
      if signn='*' and rr gt 0.05 then do;
      put ' p-value greater than 0.05 but sign is *';
      end;
      end;
run;
 
 
 data temp; set temp1;
621  keep          rr1  rr2   rr3 rr4   rr5 rr6
622                      sig1 sig2 sig3 sig4 sig5 sig6;
623  array rr      rr1-rr6;
624  array signn $ sig1-sig6;
625        do over rr;
626        if rr Le 0.05 and rr ne . then signn='*';
627
628        if rr gt 1 then put ' P-value is greater than 1';
629
630        if signn='*' and rr gt 0.05 then do;
631        put ' p-value greater than 0.05 but sign is *';
632        end;
633        end;
634
 
 p-value greater than 0.05 but sign is *
 p-value greater than 0.05 but sign is *
