Syntax save data in sav/spss format?

[Yasmin alang]

hello guyss, im little confused about how to save my data in sav/spss format in state 17, anybody here know the syntax? thankyouuu

[Joseph Coveney]

It's not the following?

export spss using <filename>

Help file here.

Is it that the feature didn't yet exist in that release?

[Chen Samulsion]

There's no official command to do that, -export spss- was introduced in Stata 18. So use -dta2sav- (Dirk Enzmann, install from SSC) or -savespss- (Sergiy Radyakin, see http://radyakin.org/transfer/savespss/savespss.htm) would be a good choice.

[Clyde Schechter]

If the machine you are working on also has SPSS installed, another option is to open the Stata file directly in SPSS. (Yes, SPSS can read Stata files). Then save it as an SPSS .sav file from SPSS.

The free online rioweb is often good for dataset conversions.
