stat/transfer 10 reading stata file 15

[Rochelle Zhang]

Dear all,

I have a stat/transfer 10 software on my PC. I have to use it to convert my stata file into sas file so that I can use it for a project.

My stata software is version 15. stat/transfer 10 did not recognize my stata 15 file.

What do I do ?


Thank you,

Rochelle

either (1) upgrade your Stat/Transfer (the current version number is 15) or (2) export to something that SAS can import (csv? excel? - sorry, I'm not familiar with SAS); actually, I just checked and thee is a user-written command - savasas-; use -search- to find and download

If you have Stata 15 it can save in Stata 11 format - that might work in stat/transfer 10. Use the -saveold- command. If that doesn't work, try -export delimited- or -outsheet- which will create ASCII files that stat/transfer or SAS itself can read. With -saveold- use the "version(11)" option.
