I'm trying to delete the last digit of a variable. Right now the variables have 9 digits like: 12345678x with x being a number between 1 and 9. I would like it to be 12345678.
As a beginner to Stata, I was wondering if anybody could please offer some help.
I'm using Stata12SE on Osx.
With kind regards.
