Syntax

PROBSIG=n | MIN | MAX | hex

Syntax Description

n: specifies the number of significant digits.
MIN: sets the minimum number of significant digits to 0.
MAX: sets the maximum number of significant digits to 2.
hex: specifies the number of significant digits as hexadecimal. This number must be followed by an X.

Details

When PROBSIG=0, p-values are written with four decimal places and truncated at .0001.

PROBSIG=1 guarantees that p-values are written with at least one significant digit; that is, values greater than or equal to .000095 are written with four decimal places, but values less than .000095 are written in E-notation.

PROBSIG=2 guarantees that p-values are written with at least two significant digits. Values greater than .0000995 are written with five decimal places, and smaller values are written in E-notation.

Operating Environment Information: The syntax shown here applies to the OPTIONS statement. On the command line or in a configuration file, the syntax is specific to your operating environment. For details, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. [cautionend]
