st: destring var, replace dpcomma

["Olga Lyashevska" <olga.stata@herenstraat.nl>]

Dear List,

My data contains comma's as decimal points.
It looks like:

 RMR     EV      T
5,48    6,1   12,7
6,13      6   12,7

I want to destring it and replace comma with a period.
I have tried the following but it doesnt work. I get an error r198
'Invalid syntax'.

destring RMR, replace dpcomma

Could you suggest anything?

Thanks in advance,
Olga
