Importing SAS data into STATA

Importing SAS data into STATA

by Stephen Chang -
Hi everyone,
 
I was hoping you might be able to help me with converting a "sas7bdat" file from SAS and export it into STATA.
 
Would any of you be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your question. The UCLA-idre page has a nice summary of how to import data from other software programs into STATA:

Importing ASCII data into STATA

I have a similar question:

I have an ASCII data file that I wanted to import into Stata 14.1 -- is there an easy way to do this? I've been having difficulty with attempts on my own.

Did you try: 

File<import<Text data in fixed format

try typing "help infix" in the command line for the help file

You will need to specify column locations of data types or attach a data dictionary when you import
