Nick Cox a �crit :
-outfile- seems to use the Stata code for
missing anyway.
Mmh That's right. I have certainely made an error when I have tested an
exportation with this command. I don't understand ! Sorry !

I guess the history with -outsheet- was
that it produced files for reading into
other software for which Stata conventions
were irrelevant.
It sounds as if there should be an option
for -outsheet- to provide this. Recourse
to -tostring- may solve the problem, but
at best it is a work-around (not that I
have anything against -tostring-).

how can I obtain a point (.) instead a blank in the text file
with -outsheet- or -outfile- for a numerical variable ?

You can use -tostring- just prior to -outsheet- in order to
create a string
variable that contains a point whereever the numeric variable
was missing.
