storing a single value in a variable is highly inefficient and
unnecesary. They way to store a single number is to use locals (or if
you are really worried about precision in scalars, see:
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html#scalar )
*------------ begin example ----------------
sysuse auto, clear
corr mpg displacement
local rho = r(rho)
di `rho'
*-------------- end example ----------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
