st: Tostring (string from a numerical variable)

Hi people,
I wanna generate a variable string from a numerical variable that has negative signe (in front of the number). Is this possible? Because Stata gives me the following message.
(tostring var_1, generate( var_1str)) var_1 cannot be converted reversibly; no generate.
What must I do? Thanks in advance
carmen
