I am using ver.15 and created ID from PIDM (to convert ID to string).
The PIDM column is %10.0g. However, new ID column is %9.0g when I used 'gen ID = PIDM'.
I tried format %10.0g and %10.0f, but the ID has been changed and is different with PIDM. See below.
It should be simple copy but I can't explain or fix this issue. Would you advise me what I did wrong?
Thanks.
