Syntax
Syntax Description
- w
-
specifies the width
of the output field.
Default:8
Range:2–20
Tip:Make w large enough
to produce the desired results. To obtain a complete time value with
three decimal places, you must allow at least 12 spaces: eight spaces
to the left of the decimal point, one space for the decimal point
itself, and three spaces for the decimal fraction of seconds.
- d
-
specifies the number
of digits to the right of the decimal point in the seconds value.
This argument is optional.
Default:0
Range:0–19
Requirement:must be less than w
Details
The TIME
w.
d format
writes SAS time values in the form
hh:mm:ss.ss:
is an integer.
Note: If
hh is a single digit, TIME
w.
d places a leading blank before the digit. For

is an integer between
00 and 59 that represents minutes.
is the number of seconds

d format except that TIME
w.
d includes seconds.
The TIME

digit. The TOD
w.d format writes
a leading zero for a single-hour digit.
