Dear David
Now you are bumping up against the default display format... from
the help file (help dates_and_times), the implied format is...
Format | Implied (fully specified) format
-------+---------------------------------
%tc | %tcDDmonCCYY_HH:MM:SS
So we can manually specify the format to get the entire precision,
for example...
. clear
. inp str30 time
time
1. "1-22-2007 3:44:22"
2. "1/23/2008 02:23:11.111"
3. end
. gen double time2 = clock(time, "MDY hms")
. format time2 %tcDDmonCCYY_HH:MM:SS.sss
. li
+-------------------------------------------------+
| time time2 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
1. | 1-22-2007 3:44:22 22jan2007 03:44:22.000 |
2. | 1/23/2008 02:23:11.111 23jan2008 02:23:11.111 |
+-------------------------------------------------+
