I would like to make available to all Stata users a program I have
developed for translating certain kinds of SAS code into Stata
dictionaries. This is for those occasions where you are given raw data
plus a SAS program to read it. But, being a Stata user, you need the
equivalent Stata dictionary.
The program is named Sasst, and is an exe file that runs under Windows
(from the command prompt).
The program has, naturally, some limitations, both in terms of what can be
translated and what features I have been able, to date, to accommodate, but
I hope that it will be usable in most circumstances. I am interested in
finding out whether other users will find it useful.
Please write to me directly, at [email protected] if you are interested in
obtaining this. I will provide you with the exe file plus documentation (a
text file). The sizes are approximately...
sasst.exe 80k
sasst.txt 60k
For those who may be concerned, I have scanned them with the latest Norton
Antivirus software.
Thanks for your attention.
I look forward to hearing from some of you.
