8.8 NUMERIC

     NUMERIC /var_list [(fmt_spec)].

NUMERIC explicitly declares new numeric variables, optionally setting their output formats.

Specify a slash (/), followed by the names of the new numeric variables. If you wish to set their output formats, follow their names by an output format specification in parentheses (see Input/Output Formats); otherwise, the default is F8.2.

Variables created with NUMERIC are initialized to the system-missing value.
