If you ever end up having a sas variable, which contains special characters in it, and you want to split them into each separate variable, you need to use a ascii number equivalent to required special character,and at x at the end of the string. For example, if the special character is tabulator: In ASCII table, '09'x is a ascii equivalent to tab character.

Sometimes you need to round up the number up to 2 digits. For example, you calculation has to show a result in currency. There are two solutions to use on internet: 1) Use Math.random function. var a=123.4567; Math.random(a*100)/100 However, this is not really good, as for example in case of var a=1.005; Math.random(a*100)/100 results into 1 instead of 1.01. 2) use toFixed(2) However, it is more secure option to use a.toFixed(2), which would return element as fixed 2 decimal value
