Sas function round floor.
Node 3 of 702.
The functions that perform rounding are the same in the data step as in the sas iml language.
You should not use the round function as a general method to test for approximate equality.
For example i would like to round 0 2011 to 202.
If the argument is within 1e 12 of an integer the floor function fuzzes the result to be equal to that integer.
These functions are used as part of the data statements.
Testing for approximate equality.
The floor function rounds down.
In the example round 0 33 0 1 round returns 0 3 and not 3 0 1.
If round x 0 1 round y 0 1 then.

The floorz function does not fuzz the result.
Abs function tree level 3.
Therefore with the floorz function you might get unexpected results.
In the case below it will return 2.
They take the data variables as arguments and return the result which is stored into another variable.
More sas statements.
Floorz function tree level 3.
Unlike the floorz function the floor function fuzzes the result.
Testing for approximate equality.
The round function returns the value that is based on decimal arithmetic even though this value is sometimes not the exact mathematically correct result.
Briefly i want to mention the sas floor and sas ceil functions.
Round up or ceil in sas using ceil function.
Round function rounds the first argument to the nearest multiple of the second argument or to the nearest integer when the second argument is omitted.
Sas has a wide variety of in built functions which help in analysing and processing the data.
I m trying to perform a roundup function to mimic the function in excel where i want to round up to the nearest decimal.
More sas statements.
If your data contain both positive and negative values you can also round numbers toward zero or away from zero.

The ceil function rounds up.
Floor function tree level 3.
Utility of sas floor and sas ceil functions.
Sas functions and call routines by category tree level 3.
If round x 0 1 round y 0 1 then.
The floor function returns the largest integer that is less or equal to the argument.
Round down in sas or floor in sas uses floor function which rounds down the column in sas.
Round up in sas or ceil in sas uses ceil function which rounds up the column in sas.
Two numbers that differ only in the least significant bit can round to different values if one number rounds down and the other number rounds up.
Round off the column in sas is accomplished by round function.
I ve tried round ceil and floor but i can t seem to get it to round at the decimal level only the integer level.
It will be easier to understand their role now that you understood the explanation above about sas round function.
