在sas中具有相同长度的表中创建键字段

Question

I have a key field in a SAS table that is a sequential number. I want to create a key with that number but with some zeros first of the number, so that all the items of the key have length=15.

can someone help?

You can use z. format:

charackterKey = put(numericKey,z15.);
