The data set WORK.REALESTATE has the variable LocalFee with a format of 9. and a variable CountryFee with a format of 7.;
The following SAS program is submitted:
data WORK.FEE_STRUCTURE;
format LocalFee CountryFee percent7.2;
set WORK.REALESTAT;
LocalFee=LocalFee/100;
CountryFee=CountryFee/100;
run;
What are the formats of the variables LOCALFEE and COUNTRYFEE in the output dataset?
A. LocalFee has format of 9. and CountryFee has a format of 7.
B. LocalFee has format of 9. and CountryFee has a format of percent7.2
C. Both LocalFee and CountryFee have a format of percent7.2
D. The data step fails execution; there is no format for LocalFee.
Answer: C
注解：FORMAT statement可以一次改变多个变量的format。此外，假设原始值是10，那么Format改成percent7.2之后，输出的结果则为1000%。
