-inputst- is from Roger Newson's package -stcmd-, available in various places. You can modify any of those programs if you like, but that modified program then becomes your responsibility. But I think it's much easier to do this in other ways. For example, with -renvars- from the Stata Journal, . renvars, lower is all you need. Type -findit renvars- and download from the SJ 5-4 files. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Scott N. Bronson I am importing a SAS 9.2 dataset into Stata using the inputst command. While I can import the data fine using inputst, the SAS variable names are a mixture of upper case and lower case, and I would like to have them to all be lower case in Stata. I know which StatTransfer Command Processor commands that I want to use, but I am having difficulty understanding how (and whether) I can modify the inputst and/or stcmd .ado files to force all imported variable names to be lower case. Any help would be much appreciated! * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
