Subject:      comma in place of point for decimal separator

Hello,

Is anybody know to read number with comma in place of point for decimal
separator ?

The format comma8.2 is not correct.

This above hereafter is correct but I don't want the dummy varaiable car2.

data p1;
input
  @1 car $8.
  @1 comma1 comma8.1
  @1 comma2 comma8.2
 ;
num=input(translate(car, ".", ","), best.);
cards;
0,1
0,01
0,001
1,1
1,01
1,001
;
run;
proc print;
run;

OBS     CAR     COMMA1    COMMA2     NUM

 1     0,1         0.1      0.01    0.100
