Hi,
I had a bit more trouble than I anticipated converting
a 12-digit double to a string. The string and number
are below:
+--------------------------+
| ssuid ssuidn |
|--------------------------|
1. | 019003754630 1.900e+10 |
+--------------------------+
A simple tostring command gives the results below:
. tostring ssuidn, gen(ssuidc) force
ssuidc generated as str11
ssuidc was forced to string; some loss of information
. list ssuidc in 1/1
+-------------+
| ssuidc |
|-------------|
1. | 1.90038e+10 |
+-------------+
expressed in scientific notation rather than like
'019003754630' above.
Thanks
