Hi!
Is there a way to insheet 0.154143995764484 without losing precision?
I used Stata IC 9.1 for Windows as below
insheet using "C:\data\0.154143995764484.csv", clear
codebook
* It is float, %9.0g, .15414399, not .154143995764484
insheet using "C:\data\0.154143995764484.csv",clear double
codebook
* It is double, %10.0g, .1541439957645, not .154143995764484
Thank you,
Farshad Pourmalek
