Re: st: RE: RE: SPSS to STATA

[San K <devank@gmail.com>]

What's the point in buying another software or what's the point in
converting if you don't have SPSS or Stata?

Using SPSS - Simply open the *.sav file and then save as stata file.
You can select the version you want.
Using Stata - You can use the  USESPSS (Stata module) to import *.sav files.
