Syntax

HEXw.

Required Argument

w
specifies the width of the output field. When you specify a w value of 1 through 15, the real binary number is truncated to a fixed-point integer before being converted to hexadecimal notation. When you specify 16 for the w value, the floating-point value of the number is used. In other words, the number is not truncated.
Default:8
Range:1–16

Example

The following example uses the input value of 123.
data  _null_;
x=123;
put x=hex8.;
run;
x=0000007B
