Dear all,
I am trying to dealing with the following problem:
There is a numeric variable in my dataset which is double precision. This numeric variable must be converted to string type for my next work.
I tried to use "tostring" code to convert this numeric variable to string variable. But failed. The "recast" can not change this variable from double precision to float/int /long/byte. Then I used "decode" code to generate a new variable based on this numeric variable. But there is no value of the new variable.
What can I do to deal with this problem? Please help. Thank you all.
