Dear Statalist, I want to test the format of a variable in a program for conversion to string in a loop using the tostring function. If the format of a variable is %td then I want to save it in a string variable by using the tostring function. I have searched web I found the macro -isnumeric- . But I want to test the format also i.e. -isdate- Kindly suggest me in this regard. Thanks Rasool Bux ________________________________ This e-mail may contain information that is privileged or confidential.
