st: svytotal output in fixed format

[Suzanne Graden <graden.1@osu.edu>]

Good day.

In my analysis using svy commands (svytotal), I need estimates and 
confidence intervals with fixed format precision instead of the general 
format which results in the estimates and ci displayed in scientific notation.

I have been able to display the point estimate using "matrix list e(est), 
format()" but I need help to obtain the upper and lower confidence limits. 
When I use "estimates list" the confidence limits do not seem to be stored. 
Is this correct or am I overlooking something? I tried to calculate the 
confidence limits by first using the "svmat" command to change the e(V_ds) 
to a variable and then formatted the variable using format(), but the 
result was still displayed in scientific notation. What is the best way to 
obtain the confidence limits displayed in fixed format when using svy 
commands that do not allow the user to adjust the table cell size?

Your time and help are appreciated.
