Hien, The CEIL function is similar to what you request, but it works to the
nearest integer--it does not allow you to specify a precision like ROUND does.
 
How about NEWVAL=100*(CEIL(OLDVAL/100));
 
By the way, it looks like CEIL(7+10**(-14)) is 7 rather than 8.  This is not a
problem if your numbers are integers.  Unfortunately, SAS does not have an
integer data type.

      Is there a SAS function to round a number up?  The round() function
     seems to round the number up or down depending on the rounding unit.
 
     round(233, 100);   ** will return 200;
     round(250, 100);   ** will return 300;
 
     This is what I want:
 
     round (233, 100);  ** will return 300;
     round (250, 100);  ** will return 300;
 
     Thanks,
     Hien
