My apologies for bothering you all with such a simple query.
I have calculated a variable which is the age of a subject when they were
interviewed. However this variable has several decimal places. I wish to change
this to the whole number of years. I have tried using
format varname %2.0f
but as the manuals state this doesn't affect the accuracy so some of the ages
are rounding up. I only want complete years so need to round them all down (or
looking at it another way, I just need to 'cut off' the decimal points). Could
anyone tell me how can I do this?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Laura
