Why Stat/Transfer
Stat/Transfer can now read and write the following new file formats in
addition to the dozens of
formats supported already:
- Stata version 9 (supported since Stat/Transfer 7)
- Excel 2007
- NLOGIT
- R
- SAS CPORT datasets amd catalogs (read only)
- SAS PC/DOS 6.04 (read only)
- S-PLUS through version 7
- Delimited ASCII with a Stat/Transfer SCHEMA file
Stat/Transfer version 9 also handles fixed-format ASCII files.
Stat/Transfer reads and writes fixed-format ASCII with a Stat/Transfer
Schema file.
Stat/Transfer version 9 can write fixed-format ASCII data files accompanied
by programs that will read the data into popular statistical packages.
These are
- Fixed-format ASCII with a Stata program
- Fixed-format ASCII with a SAS program
- Fixed-format ASCII with an SPSS program
Stat/Transfer version 9 also includes the following new capabilities
and changes:
- Worksheet pages can be concatenated into one output file.
- The command processor now allows multiple input files to be combined
into one output file.
- Value label tags and sets can be preserved.
- SAS value labels can now be read from transport files, CPORT files,
datasets, and catalogs.
- JMP support has been expanded.
- Users can specify any delimiter for ASCII files and can combine
adjacent blank delimiters.
- Generated programs and ASCII files can now preserve input widths.
- In R and S-Plus, factors can now be converted to numeric variables with
labels or to string variables.
- The command processor now has a flexible syntax for specifying input
and output tables simultaneously.
- Support for longer string variables and longer value and variable
labels has been added so that Stat/Transfer is compatible with the
limits of all supported programs.
- A built-in logging and FTP facility is now available for
troubleshooting.
- Full compatibility with Microsoft Windows Vista.
Stat/Transfer 9 is available for Windows and Macintosh OS X.
Stat/Transfer 9 for Unix (Digital Unix, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux (Intel), Sun
Solaris) will be available soon.
