-format- influences the way individual values of a variable are
displayed (for instance as it is shown with the -list- command) not the
way a command like -total- displays its results. Some commands have an
option called display that controls the way the results are displayed,
but -total- doesn't have that option. You can display the results of
-total- with -estimates table-, and that allows you to change the
display format. See: example below.
*--------- begin example -------
sysuse auto, clear
replace price = price*10000
total price
estimates table , b(%20.0f)
*--------- end example -----------
Hope this helps,
Maarten
