I'm new to STATA. I used Excel prior but recently purchased STATA. I'm learning as I go. Here is my issue that I'd like help with. Below is the error message I received [INDENT=2]

manova GeneratesSatisfactionSAT = Transformational Transactional PassiveAvoidant
Transformational: factor variables may not contain noninteger values
r(452);[/INDENT]

The data comes from a survey that I championed. Multiple questions on the survey fed to these results in the variables that I'm using in the MANOVA. All positive numbers, no negatives. Some are decimals. Examples are 4, 3, 3.75, .4, .8, and so on. Other than rounding the numbers to remove the decimal to make them integers, what can I do? I'm just starting. My goal is to determine if there are statical significance in the variables. If yes, then I planned to run post hoc t-tests?
