Hans,
I believe you need to increase the format width.
For example
. l
+------------------------------------------+
| var1 var2 var3 var4 |
|------------------------------------------|
1. | 1.230e+09 1234567890 12345678 1 |
+------------------------------------------+
. table var4 , c(sum var1 sum var2 sum var3) format(%9.2f)
----------------------------------------------
var4 | sum(var1) sum(var2) sum(var3)
----------+-----------------------------------
1 | 1.23e+09 1.23e+09 1.23e+07
----------------------------------------------
. table var4 , c(sum var1 sum var2 sum var3) format(%13.2f)
-------------------------------------------------------
var4 | sum(var1) sum(var2) sum(var3)
----------+--------------------------------------------
1 | 1230000000.00 1234567890.00 12345678.00
-------------------------------------------------------
Hope this helps,
Scott
