Dear Statlist,
Is there a way I can produce a list that shows not the number of columns in a variable, but the maximum number of decimal places after the decimal point?
For example, the variable RPZ_S1 is a float variable, with the format %9.0g and contains Z scores.
Example values look like this: -1.273682
I would like to produce a list that tells me that variable RPZ_S1 contains 6 decimal places.
Thank you
Rebecca Coates
