What do you want these values to become once it is numeric?
10216 and 112116? If so:
gen id_numeric=real(subinstr(ID," ","",.))
Or something more complicated?

Subject: st: destring with embedded blanks
Dear list members,
Could someone help me with converting string variables
with embedded blanks.
Let say I have:
ID
1 02 16
1121 16
Where ID is a string variable and I want to convert
it in numeric. How do I proceed?
Thank for your help.
