See http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/float.html and

Also see [U], 13.11.

Subject: st: Problems with "if X==number"
Using Stata/MP 11.1, Windows Vista.
Why is my Stata suddenly doing this? Is this something to do with some
obscure Stata setting, or do I have a serious problem with my
installation...
*****************************************************
Code:
sysuse auto
gen test=1 if gear_ratio==3.58
tab test
Output:
. gen test=1 if gear_ratio==3.58
(74 missing values generated)
. tab test
no observations
