data study;
input Subj : $3.
Group : $1.
Dose : $4.
Weight : $8.
Subgroup;
x= input(Weight,5.1);
datalines;
001 A Low 220 2
002 A High 90 1
003 B Low 193.6 1
004 B High 165 2
005 A Low 123.4 1
;
Why does X get truncated? X shows up as 22 instead of 220,9
instead of 90 and 19.8 instead of 198? This problem doesnt
happen with the values 193.6 and 123.4.
This does not happen if x is read on the 5. informat instead
of the 5.1 informat
