Hi Lena,
What exactly is it that you are hoping to be "more precise"? Would you like the results extended to 16 decimal places, or do you mean that you want them truncated to whole number values only? What is it that you feel is imprecise about your results? Have you considered that you are trying to estimate totals with multiply imputed data?
I suggest reviewing the FAQ for information on how to ask a more precise question that is more likely to yield the answer(s) you are looking for.
HTH,
Billy
