| $HEXw. |
| Default: | The default width is calculated based on the length of the variable to be printed. |
| Range: | 1-32767 |
| Tip: | To ensure that SAS writes the full hexadecimal equivalent of your data, make w twice the length of the variable or field that you want to represent. |
| Tip: | If w is greater than twice the length of the variable that you want to represent, $HEXw. pads it with blanks. |
| Details |
The $HEXw. format converts each character into two hexadecimal digits. Each blank counts as one character, including trailing blanks.
| Comparisons |
The HEXw. format converts real binary numbers to their hexadecimal equivalent.
