Fast and reliabla file conversion

Have you ever had a colleague send you an ABC file that you wanted in XYZ format? Say a SAS or SPSS file that you wanted in Stata format or the other way around?

Stat/Transfer provides a fast and reliable way to convert files from one format to another, making it easy to move data among different spreadsheet and statistical programs.

Stat/Transfer provides an extremely fast, reliable, and automatic way to exchange data between different spreadsheet and statistics programs.

Manual transfer is not only time-consuming, it is error-prone. For those in possession of data sets with many variables, it represents a serious impediment to the use of more than one program.

Stat/Transfer will automatically read statistical data in the internal format of one of the supported programs and will then transfer as much of the information as is present and appropriate to the internal format of another.

Stat/Transfer preserves all of the precision in your data, while automatically minimizing the size of your output data set. Stat/Transfer also allows control over the storage format of your output variables.

In addition to converting the formats of variables, Stat/Transfer also processes variable names, missing values and value and variable labels automatically.

Stat/Transfer can save hours and even days of manual labor, while at the same time eliminating error. Furthermore, you gain this speed and accuracy without losing flexibility, since Stat/Transfer allows you to select just the variables and cases you want to transfer.

In addition to the standard Windows interface, a command processor on Windows and on Unix allows you to run a transfer in batch mode. This makes it straightforward to set up fully automatic batch procedures for repetitive tasks.

Stat/Transfer was developed by Circle Systems, Seattle, Washington, and is distributed through StataCorp, the makers of Stata. Stat/Transfer 9 supports all Stata datasets, from Stata 1 through the current release—Stata 10.

Stat/Transfer 9 is available for Windows and Macintosh OS X, while Stat/Transfer 9 for Unix (Digital Unix, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux (Intel), Sun Solaris) will be available soon.
