Jon Schwabish <[email protected]>:
I think David Kantor identified your problem, but I think you should,
in general, either round and then -recast- since -recast- will
truncate (e.g. turn 3.9 into 3), or (possibly better) specify your
weight as an [aweight] instead.
clear
input f
4
3.2
3.8
33735
end
recast int f, force
li
clear
input f
4
3.2
3.8
33735
end
replace f=round(f)
recast long f
li
