So to appl ythe solution to your problem:

***
sysuse auto, clear
qui ds, has(type numeric)
foreach var of varlist `r(varlist)'{
su `var', mean
replace `var'= `var'/100 if `var'<`r(mean)'
}
***

Dear Statalist,

Can I ask a question? Is there any way that I can select all the numerical variable in a dataset? For example, I want to use:
for var equity net_income cash_fixinv : replace X=. if X==0.0001

But I have a lot of numerical variables like equity, net_income... but I don't want to list all of them. Is there any way to get around of this?

Many thanks in advance!

Martin
