What you're describing is actually called a uniform type identifier (UTI).
Stata uses UTIs to tag its text files so that an application such as Spotlight
can identify them as containing plain text data. A UTI is not the same as the
file kind you see in the Finder.
Stata text files such as do-files and ado-files mistakenly have the "ASP code
file" description for its UTI. Although the description for Stata's UTI is
incorrect, this does not affect the functionality of the Stata files. This
will be corrected to "Stata text file" in a future update.

The intent was for all Stata text files to appear as "Stata text file" but
we're open to changing them to have unique descriptions.
