st: Column Width Question
Date

Hi there,
I have a Stata dataset and the column width of the one of the string
variables is extremely large. The length of the data within the column
varies between 3 and 47 characters. There are other columns in the
data with data of a similar length but the column widths are much
smaller.
The wide column makes it difficult to browse data - it takes up a
large portion of the entire screen. Is there anything I can do to size
down the column (or make it "fit" the data)?
Thanks in advance for any advice you have.
Best,
Erika
