st: forvalues i = 0(.05).15

[David Airey <david.airey@Vanderbilt.Edu>]

.

The fact that forvalues

forvalues i = (0)(.05).15 {
display `i'
}

gives


. forvalues i = 0(.05).15 {
  2. display `i'
  3. }
0
.05
.1

is related to accuracy of a macro or float right (.15 is missing)?

I could alternatively type:

forvalues i = 0(5)15 {
display `i'/10
}

or

forvalues i = 0(.05).16 {
display `i'
}
