Betreff: st: leading zeros with decimals
Hello,
I have data that need to be formatted with leading zeros and decimal
places. Specifically, I need 4 digits before the decimal and 2 after.
According to the Stata help file for format, I should be able to
achieve this through:
format var %04.2f
However, this does not add leading zeros. It seems like something with
the decimal is throwing it off, because using %04.0f will give me
leading zeros. I've also tried:
gen str7 newvar=string(var, "%04.2f")
with no success (again, no leading zeros). Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Ann
