Given an unsorted data set, how to read the last observation to a new data set?
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
