Import a multiple imputation SPSS data file in Stata

[R LaChausse]

Hi- I have a multiple imputation data file created in SPSS with the original data (m=0) and 5 imputations (m=1, m=2, m=3, m=4, m=5).
How can I import the SPSS into Stata so that it recognizes the original data set and the 5 imputed data sets in one file?
The data file looks like this:

m	var1	var2	var3	var4
0	1	.	3	4
0	1	2	2	.
0	2	2	2	.
1	1	2	3	4
1	4	3	2	1
2	3	2	1	1
2	2	2	1	1
3	3	3	4	4
4	2	2	2	1
4	3	2	1	1
5	4	3	2	1

Thanks!

Triplicate post.

First you need to just bring this into Stata as a regular Stata data set. Options for that would include StatTransfer or Sergiy Radyakins -usespss-, available from SSC.

Once you have that, look at -mi import flong- in the manual for further help.

That worked. Thanks so much!
