Just wrap the thing in the -float()- function:
*************
clear*
inp so2conc
0
.2
.25
.3
.4
.5
.6
1.0
end
drop if so2conc==0.2
drop if so2conc==float(0.2)
*************

Betreff: st: dropping values
I think there is a problem with dropping values of a variable.
I have a variable named so2conc and it has values 0 .2 .25 .3 .4 .5 .6
1.0
If I use
drop if so2conc==0.2
nothing gets dropped.
If I use
egen so2=group(so2conc)
and then
drop if so2==2
then I get dropped what I need dropped.
I think the problem is that so2conc is stored as a real value.
Has anyone else had this problem or is there something written about
avoiding this problem?
Thanks,
Dave
