A possible answer involves the -parmest- package, downloadable from SSC.
The -parmest- package inputs the results of an estimation command (such
as -total-) and outputs an output dataset (or resultsset), with 1
observation per estimated parameter, and data on estimates, confidence
limits, P-values and other parameter attributes, all of which may have
any format the user selects. This resultsset may be listed to the Stata
log and/or output to a disk file and/or saved to the memory (replacing
any existing data).
For instance, in your example, you might type, after the -total-
command,
parmest, list(parm estimate stderr min95 max95) format(estimate stderr
min95 max95 %10.2f)
and the parameters, with their names, estimates, standard errors and
confidence limits will be listed, with all estimates, standard errors
and confidence limits formatted using the Stata format %12.2f (12 bytes
wide, 2 decimal places). There are a lot more tricks you can do with the
-parmest- package.
I hope this helps.

Subject: st: Scientific Notation Problem
Hi Everyone,
This would seem like such an easy question, but I can't seem to find an
answer anywhere online or in books.
I have data for the 2000 US Presidential election by counties in the US.
All I want to do is to get a total vote for
Each candidate. When I use the total command (total gore), this is the
result I get.
Total estimation Number of obs = 3155
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Total Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+------------------------------------------------
gore | 5.12e+07 3210227 4.49e+07 5.75e+07
--------------------------------------------------------------
My question is: how can I get the totals to appear without scientific
notation? I have already tried reformatting the
Variables and that doesn't work. I've spent two days now, off and on,
trying to figure this out and feel a bit foolish
Given that it seems like a simple question.
Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.
Bob
