Floor function sas example.
These functions are used as part of the data statements.
Round down in sas or floor in sas uses floor function which rounds down the column in sas.
The floorz function uses zero fuzzing.

From sas functions by example second edition.
The floor function fuzzes the results so that if the results are within 1e 12 of an integer the floor function returns that integer.
Let s see an example of each.
Chapter 3 sort functions 173.
They take the data variables as arguments and return the result which is stored into another variable.
Round off the column in sas is accomplished by round function.
The floorz function does not fuzz the result.
Round up or ceil in sas using ceil function.
Therefore with the floorz function you might get unexpected results.
Function that sorts numeric values 174.
Therefore with the floorz function you might get unexpected results.
Function that sorts character values 176.
The floorz function uses zero fuzzing.
