Dear community,
I was inattentive when pasting data into a new stata-file and now the following problem presents itself: I have a unique numeric identifier with verly large number such that stata abbreviated it to scientific notation e.g. 1.7876423e+11. In the new file this numeric identifier appears as string and contains commas (",") instead of dots. I have now trired to destring this varlist unsuccessfully.
Is there someone who has encountered a similar problem before and could help me out?
Kind regards,
Marie
