Subject   st: rounding values in a large subset of variables

Dear members of statalist,

I am a very new user of stata, facing a few problems.

I have a large subset of variables all starting with the prefix eg_rs*,
with values between
0 and 2 I would like to round them all to 0, 1 or 2. (see example (actual
dataset is much larger))

I tried with the replace function :
replace eg_rs*=round(eg_rs*)

but it doesn't work...

-example begin-

What I have :
id    eg_rs2660    eg_rs3452    eg_rs7894
1001  1            0.99         0.85
1002  0            1            2
1003  2            1.99         1
1004  1.12         2            2
1005  0.3          0            1
1006  1            0            0.78


What I'd like :
id    eg_rs2660    eg_rs3452    eg_rs7894
1001  1            1            1
1002  0            1            2
1003  2            2            1
1004  1            2            2
1005  0            0            1
1006  1            0            1

-example end-

Any help will be very much appreciated, thanks!

Emeline
