If you are sure you do not need this, the text format is better for accessing the log file with other software such as a word processor. Stata recommends to use the SMCL format, as it keeps some formatting that is helpful when looking at the file with the Stata viewer it is therefore the default format. There are two formats for the log file, the SMCL format (a specific Stata format, as far as I know) and the text or plain ASCII format. (Note, however, that there is some sort of workaround see the following section.) In other words, you cannot save output to a log file a posteriori. Note that you have to open the log file before output can be written to it. In other words, by default the output is shown in the output window only. To keep record of Stata's output, you have to specify a log file. But you should strive for simplicity anyway. Therefore, you may encounter difficulties if you wish to display are larger number of decimals than the one set by default. Note that the maximum format widths for cformat, pformat, and sformat are 9, 5, and 8 (in that order). Will restrict coefficients, standard errors and confidence interval limits to four decimals.Īlso available are commands for changing the display of the p-value and of the test statistics (t-values, z-values and the like) the commands are set pformat and set sformat, respectively. This may be precisely what you want, but normally you should strive for focussing on the relevant information, which ideally would be in the range of two to four decimals. Results of regression models are typically displayed with six or seven decimal places. See the entry on naming and saving graphs. Note that graphs are displayed in window that are separate from the numerical output. Note that this command will take effect upon the next relaunch of Stata. set scrollbufsize 50000 (using any number you prefer) will allow you to scroll further up in the output window. You can scroll back in the output window, but the number of lines that can be retrieved is limited.If you have wide tables or similar output, try set linesize 132 or whatever you like to avoid tables being wrapped around.Remember the set more off command if repeatedly pressing keys to make Stata move on annoys you.
