Dear Statalisters,

I am reporting coefficients from a linear probability model using
-estout- and -esttab-.  I would like to multiply the coefficients with
100 so that readers can interpret them as percentage point change.  I
tried the -transform(@*100)- option in estout which works for the
coefficients but struggle with the standard errors.  Any suggestions
greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Bert


*** Example

clear
set obs 500
set seed 1
gen y = round(_n/500)
gen x = runiform()

reg y x

estout ,  cells(b se(fmt(%10.2f)))
estout ,  cells(b se(fmt(%10.2f))) transform(@*100)



*** Output of last two lines


. estout ,  cells(b se(fmt(%10.2f)))

-------------------------
                        .
                     b/se
