Dear Steve,
Thanks. I'm currently using the Stat/Transfer function that you described.
However, I would like to find out if there is a way to do that from within
Stata.
Cheers,
JP

If you have Stat/Transfer, the output format "Stata Program + ASCII Data"
will give you what you need (a do file, a .dct file and your data in the
narrowest form). It will also export your value and variable labels.
Best,
Steve
