I personally aencounter this problem all the time. My usual solution is
to use the -parmest- package, downloadable from SSC, which produces an
output dataset (or resultsset) with one observation per parameter and
data on estimates, confidence intervals, P-values and other parameter
attributes. This dataset can be listed to the log and/or saved to disk
and/or written to memory, overwriting the existing dataset.
For instance, you might type
regress mpg weight foreign
parmest, list(parm estimate stderr t min96 max95 p) format(p %-8.2g)
and get the results listed with the P-value in a left-justified format,
usually with 2 significant figures. The on-line help for -parmest-
contains many more references to other tricks that can be done with
-parmest-, together with other packages on SSC. So does my website (see
my signature below).
Alternatively, there is probably a solution with either -estout- or
-outreg-, which you can also download from SSC.
I hope yhis helps.

Subject: st: exact (more decimals) p values ?
Hi,
is there a way to report p values with more than 4 decimals ?
(in case of low p values STATA reports 0.0000). I would like to know the
exact p value.
Thanks,
MF
