that rounding to four decial places could be performed in the %sysfunc()
like
%LET  D=%SYSFUNC( ROUND( &B, 0.015625 ),10.4 );

the %sysevalf() around &b is needed only when &B is not a constant
like 18.0779, but an expression resolving like 18 + 6/77

%LET  D=%SYSFUNC(ROUND(%SYSEVALF(&B),0.015625));
%PUT D=&D;
RUN;
