st: data conversion

["M. Nizam Khan" <khanm@colorado.edu>]

Hi Statalister,

I want to convert dob1,which is a numeric variable, into a string variable.
So I created dob2=string(dob1). But, for example, I want to see "dob2"
as "19410700" not "1.94e+07". How can I do it?

               dob1       dob2

               19410700   1.94e+07

Thanks.
