sas - ID not detectable -

i using sas 9.4, , have question.

all syntax works without errors. wanted check 1 case (tenantid=8041020430506) see if variables created intended.

proc print data=green1;     tenantid=8041020430506;     var tenantid var1-var3; run; 

well, note: no observations selected data set work.green1.

proc print data=green1;     8041020430505<tenantid<8041020430507;     var tenantid var1-var3; run; 

this 1 prints tenantid=8041020430506 without error message.

tenantid numeric variable length=8. / format=17. / informat=17.

i cannot figure out problem is.

you have numerical precision issue. it's 8041020430506.000001.

id's should stored character variable avoid issue.
