Why does the following program not work as intended?
* --------------------------
program define test
syntax [, ci(real 95)]
set level `ci'
end
* --------------------------
It is an example of a program that allows the optional argument "ci" to
specify the confidence level (the default should be 95). It works as
intended as long as I don't specify "ci" with digits after the decimal
point. But if I do, for example
* --------------------------
test, ci(99.9)
* --------------------------
I receive the error message "level() can have at most two digits after
the decimal point". What am I doing wrong, i.e. how can I avoid this
problem?
