I find it surprising that no one recommended the MOD() function:
data test;
  x=4.7;
  /* integer part of x. */
  y=int(x);
  /* fractional part of unit in x. */
  z=mod(x,1);
  put x= y= z= ;
run;

Simply looking for the way to return the integer or fractional part of a
given number? For example, in Excel, int() gives you the integer part for a
given number. If I have the number 4.7, How can I have the '4' or the '.7'
returned? Are there functions in SAS for this??
