Conversion to currency

[sap1958]

data tblCustomer1;
set tblCustomer;
if Salary >= 50000 then Bonus=Salary *0.05;
if Salary <= 50000 then Bonus=Salary *0.25;
Total = Salary+Bonus ;
put Total dollar10.2;
run;

Output
Salary Bonus
23000 2357

How can I convert the Bonus from numeric to currency. I tried
put Total dollar10.2;
but no conversion

You can't "convert" anything to currency as there are only 2 datatypes in SAS: Numeric and Character. You can however, permanantly associate a format to display that variable as currency.

Simply replace 'put' with 'format' in your example.

data tblCustomer1;
   set tblCustomer;
   if Salary >= 50000 then Bonus=Salary *0.05;
   if Salary <= 50000 then Bonus=Salary *0.25;
   Total = Salary+Bonus ;
   format Total dollar10.2;
   run;

proc print;run;
