Dear Sharon,

Either use the ROUND function (see your docs) to round the values (in your dataset) or use a format with a limited N of decimals (in this case 0) to not round you values, but round them only while printed, displayed.

Regards - Jim.

My computer says 'beep'. What's wrong with that? It's talking too much!

I'd like SAS to round my variables to the nearest integer.
I read in the SAS help that the statment "proc print round (X, 1)" can
round the numbers.  However, I get an error message when I do this.
I also tried using "proc means maxdec = 1" but this also does not do
anything.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
