Prompts Manager Display Extra Decimal Places (Migration issues of SAS 9.1 to 9.2)

In parameter manager of SAS EG 4.1, when a macro variable is created with ‘Float’ as Data Type and when integers are entered in the List of values there is no difference in the appearance of GUI Screen. The GUI Screen displayed integer values only.

Whereas when the same EGP when migrated to the new version 4.3, the prompts manager adds ‘.0’ to all values in the list. Hence the GUI Screen displays all values with ‘.0’. This is because of this feature being set in auto correction mode.

One can make required modification in SAS EG 4.1 and then migrate it. This will resolve the issue.
