In general, no; except in the sense that for any program you like you could in principle write one very similar but control its output style in exactly the way you like. Being a bit irritated that Stata does not quite do what you want has for many of us been the trigger to get us programming. -codebook- is an interesting example; it is one of several commands that have been around for a while whose defaults may not respect the very big datasets that many people routinely deal with. Naturally, I am in total sympathy with anyone who regards "write a program" as a very poor answer. Most people want hooks and handles to tweak Stata's results, not a programming project. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Doug Hess Is there a way to turn off scientific notation in general? For instance, using the -codebook- command with the -detail- option it will display -1.4619608 in the space in the output for the range of values, but it won't display 144858 in the frequency section of the report. Is there a way to alter this? * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
