var3
0.001
0.0005
0.00006
0.01
My question is very elementary or trivial, but as I am new to Stata ,I would like to get your help. My question is that ,how can I tell stata to take only first do digits after the point. In the above case,for the first observation in var3,I require only 0.00,which is 0 itself. I dont want to try the command format as it only a display convenience.Moreover,replace var3=round(var3, 0.05) wont be helpful as it gives "(0 real changes made)" as reply. I just want to tell stata that take 2 or 3 digits after decimal.
Thanks in advance
