The -gen c...- line cannot possibly have a bearing on the -display- of "b",
can it?

Thanks,

It was not the display, it actually saved the numbers as integers. Because
if I tried doing something like:
gen a=2.866
gen b=2.9
gen c=a*b
disp b
4

I updated stata (update all)...and then it worked fine...It is still a
mystery what happened, but at least it is working now..
