Hello!

I would like to import a .txt file (which I created in Mplus, .raw would also be possible) but Stata cuts my id variable so it has the value 3.50e+07 instead of 34997702. I know that I can rise the type and format in the data editor but the id 30838101 turns to 30838100 whereas 30838102 stays the same.I have already tried the dictionary command but my Stata says that the command is unrecognized.

How can I tell Stata right from the beginning that I do not want abbrevations but my real id variable?

Thanks in advance!
