Subject | st: Re: ss# imports as scientific notation |
Date | Mon, 07 Mar 2005 13:16:04 -0500 |
For some reason when I was importing a comma delimited dataset into Stata it converted all of the SS# info into scientific notation. The #'s weren't in standard ss# format (999-99-9999) but unformatted (999999999), so the end result was 9.99e+08. Currently the filed is in %10.0g format - is there a way to convert these back to a non numeric field?
