I responded directly to a direct note to Kip on this, but in case others have the same issue, I'll also post. In releases earlier than 7.0, you generally don't have the option of requesting more decimal places on the output. Your options are to either use a procedure that prints more decimals, if one exists, or to rescale the dependent variable. Rescaling the dependent by multiplying it by a constant will change the sums of squares by a constant multiple as well, without changing the F-ratios or significance levels.
