Set number of decimals in the whole do file

[joan marc]

Hi everyone,

In order to improve visualization, I was wondering whether if there existed any command to set the amount of decimal numbers in all the analysis (do file) instead of setting it at each command

Grateful in advance

Not entirely clear what you mean. If you want to set the number of decimal points in regression output tables once and for all, see the help for

set cformat
set pformat
set sformat

commands.

I mean not in a reression output, but in all kinds of outputs the do file will execute (tabulate, difference tests..)

There is no such overarching setting.

One problem is that it wouldn't really be what anyone wanted. How would it work? Display all numbers whatsoever to 3 decimal places, or 3 significant figures? Just as a start I might want sample sizes as integers, correlations to 3 decimal places, regression coefficients to 3 significant figures: that's 3 rules already and we've only just started.
