A glance at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/foreign/foreign.pdf shows

What does R do? I thought it could import SAS or Stata files, but I
don't know if it preserves labeling. Also, the price of the program is
right, but there is a cost in learning it. I've tried many times...

If you have SAS 9.2 available, it will import files from Stata v10, and
preserve labels. I thought SAS had bought dbms copy to kill it, but it
seems that SAS has incorporated parts of it, even though it does not
support the stand-alone dbms copy very well.
SPSS reads and writes both Stata and SAS files, preserving labels.

To convert SAS data sets to Stata datasets, I personally use
Stat/Transfer, whose website is at

and which has the advantage (over DBMS/Copy) that it can be called as
a DOS command. The -stcmd- package can call Stat/Transfer from within
Stata, and can be downloaded from SSC using the -ssc- command. However,
Ben (or somebody) would have to find the money to pay for Stat/Transfer.
I hope this helps.

I know that fdause cannot read SAS labels.
Is there any other way to
transform SAS data into Stata data while preserving labels? I have an
older version of DBMS copy that I could use if necessary.
thanks,
Ben
