ReplyDeleteIt can not be C bcz the total width is 11 not 8, so it comes down to either of dollar11.2 or comma11.2. But comma11.2 does not insert dollar sign along with comma. So the answer is D.

data test;
ReplyDeletev1 = 110700;
v2 = 110700;
run;
proc print data=test;
title 'Base SAS 31';
format v1 dollar8.2 v2 dollar11.2;
run;
its interesting how comma11.2 can be used to read $110,700.00 but it cant be used to write 110700 as $110,700.00
ReplyDeleteIt's beacuse when you use comma11.2 as an informat, sas removes dollar signs, commas and percent signs(if they exist in the value you are trying to read) whereas the format dollar11.2 inserts a dollar sign and a comma. Read the SAS help if you are struggeling.
