I once had a similar problem after loading a corrupted
dataset - even after I -clear-ed the dataset, I could
create new byte variables and find garbage in them.

Later determined that it didn't matter if the dataset was
in memory, just that I had loaded it at some point.
Sounds like you resolved yours with an update, but it happens
again, consider your dataset.
cheers,

Hi all,
I suddenly experience that all my entries in stata are saved as integers?
How can that be?
If I for instance type:
. clear
. set obs 10
obs was 0, now 10
. gen a=2.73456
. disp a
2
While if I use some function it works:
. gen z=uniform()
. disp z
.88350743
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Hans
