st: computing percentages

["mertenmj" <mertenmj@mail.isunet.net>]

I am using the following command:

g nonmetro=hmsa_r==2

g total=hmsa_r==1 | hmsa_r==2 | hmsa_r==3

gen pnonmetro=nonmetro/total 

I want the "pnonmetro" variable to be expressed in terms of percentage, from the resulting nonmetro/total. How do I do this?

Thanks,

Mike Merten
