V6-FSP-0331 *** ALERT NOTE *** PRODUCT: FSP
PROCEDURE: FSP
TITLE: A numeric value too large for its format may display as missing (.)
KEYS: FSEDIT FSVIEW NUMERIC VALUE TOO LARGE FORMAT MISSING DOT INCORRECT
INVALID WIDTH SPECIFIED OUT OF RANGE
A numeric value that is too large to fit the format specified may
display as a dot which makes it incorrectly appear to be a missing
value. When this happens with the FSEDIT procedure, you will receive
the following error message on the message line for the offending
observation:
ERROR: Invalid value for width specified - width out of range.
With the FSVIEW procedure, no error message is given.
To circumvent the problem, increase the width of the format so all
values will display.
