Hi. I am hoping someone might be able to help:

This morning I opened a dataset, and all my numeric variables longer than 8 digits had been set to scientific notation. I had opened the dataset on the same computer, same version of stata (14.1MP) before recently and did not have this issue and had not re-created the dataset. I opened the dataset on a different computer on the same problem arose. I also cannot seem to convert the variables back to standard notation using to format command. The variable is listed as Type: double, Format %21.10f All new variables (above 8 digits) are similarly set to scientific notation.

Is there some default command I can turn off that is doing this?

Any help appreciated.


Thanks!
