Probably posting this to the wrong list ... but I'm in the process of
learning R, after many years of using SAS --- so I thought I'd ask this
question here:
Is there with a function (or macro) in SAS that performs the same
action as R's "signif" function, if so please provide?
Tried to find via a Google search to no success. Doesn't seem to be in the
"R for SAS and SPSS Users" by Robert A. Munchen (first edition is what I
have), or in SAS and R by Ken Kleinman and Nicholas J. Horton (2nd edition)
[although in the latter they do list the R "signif" function on page 61 ...
but don't list a SAS equivalent.
If you have a suggestion for a different list that I might ask this question
(assuming I don't get the answer here), provide that as well.
Thanks-Allen

Yes, this is the wrong list. Your question is about SAS (that is what
SAS-L or SAScommunity is about) and this list is about R, and you
already know what function to use in R. That said, I searched for "SAS
round to fixed number of significant digits" and found this link
http://support.sas.com/kb/24/728.html
You could turn this into a function style macro (but it will be ugly).
If you have a recent enough version of SAS you could use PROC FCMP to
turn this into a function.
If you are interested contact me offline and I will send you a PROC FCMP
implementation.
