Thanks to Ben Jann and Kit Baum! It really helped and the changed format 
did fine! I agree with Kit Baum but for other reasons I had to use estout 
- if I use internally saved results is there a vector with variable names 
saved as strings?

Thanks,
Johannes








This is not an estout problem. Files produced by estout or estimates 
table are not meant for further computation; they're created for 
presentation. If you want to work with the coefficient vectors and 
standard errors of these estimates, save the matrices:

logit y x1 x2 x3
mat b1 = e(b)
mat V1 = e(V)
logit y2 x4 x5 x6
mat b2 = e(b)
mat V2 = e(V)

You may then do whatever numerical calculations you wish with the 
results at the full numerical precision with which they are stored. 
Although displaying a matrix (e.g. mat list b1) will use a default 
format, any calculations will use full accuracy.

You may also access these matrices' contents from within Mata if you 
want to carry out further calculations in a powerful matrix language.

Try

 ... cells("b(fmt(%18.8f)) se( fmt(%18.8f))") ...

(Although I think it makes more sense to use the g-format here, say 
%12.0g.)
