data validation test 1

[pmal]

As a part of data validation test we imported txt file into SAS (ver 9.1.3) data set. Txt file has a variable 'num' with value: 0.000016701700790245700000000000 but imported value in data set looks like: 0.0000167017.
There is any way we can see all decimal numbers in data set?

PMal,
That depends on how you set the INFORMAT on that variable.
If you used the a numeric than 8.32 should be ok. I would read in that datapoint using a char variable. Then I would alsways have the original data value.
