st: RE:
Seems that "nato" is a string (which cannot be equal to 42). If Stata treats it as string, but it is really only numbers, consider -destring-

Dear Statlisters,
i wonder if you could help to solve this:
I am generating a new variable but STATA does not allow me to do that i
think becasue of the format of the variable "nato":
g continents= nato
replace continents=1 if nato==42
type mismatch
format nato if year==1994
variable name display format
-----------------------------
nato %9s
-----------------------------
while i suspect the format should be %8g? Correct?
I would appreciate any suggestions/help.
Best
Cinzia
