When all the parameters are known, it is sufficient to submit one command to import the data from CSPro into Stata:

usecspro using "data.dat", dictionary("dictionary.dcf") level("levelname") record("recordname")

one can add a 'clear' option to the above command if necessary.

Since -usecspro- is written in Mata language, it naturally provides a user accessible Mata function, which is equivalent to the above command:

cspro_convert("dictionary.dcf", "data.dat", "levelname", "recordname")

To request information about the program, author, and version, call the following Mata function:

cspro_about()

Or from Stata command line:

mata cspro_about()

There are also commands that control the interactive mode that can be issued to start a particular interactivity:

Stata	`cspro dir ["path"]`	Shows a list of CSPro files in the current (or specified) directory.
Stata	`cspro use ["file.dcf"]`	Shows the data levels of the specified dictionary. If the file is not specified, opens a dialog to pick a file.
Stata	`cspro import ["file.dcf"]`	same as above.
Mata	`cspro_import("folder")`	Writes to the output a clickable list of the CSPro dictionary files in the specified directory.
Mata	`cspro_list_levels("dictionary.dcf")`	Writes to the output a clickable list of data levels contained in the specified dictionary file.
Mata	`cspro_list_level_records( "dictionary.dcf", "levelname")`	Writes to the output a clickable list of records for the specified data level in the dictionary file.
