I don't know whether it is save or not. However you can use -outsheet- if you
need to transfer data to spreadsheet programs. For example
. outsheet xyz abc using myfile.csv in 1/10, comma
stores the first ten rows of the columns "xyz" and "abc" in the file
"myfile.csv", which can be readily loaded into spreadsheet programs like
Excel.
Besides that I am curious which sort of "quick calculations" can be done
quicker by transfering data and doing the calculations in a spreadsheet
program instead of just doing the calculations in Stata.
