Hi!
I frequently use insheet. Unfortunately it sometimes converts string variables. Can I prevent that (without adding an alphanumeric suffix)?
Example (version 12):
input x str2 s
1 "04"
2 "10"
end
list
format s
outsheet using "test.csv", delim(";") replace
insheet using "test.csv", clear delim(";")
format s
Best regards
Sonja
