use10 - Stata module to import data in Stata 10 format into Stata 9
use10 will import to Stata 9 the files saved from Stata 10 without the saveold facility.
The only new feature changed in Stata 10 data format compared to Stata 9 data format is formatting of the variables. Thus the data can be transferred losslessly, and formatting is lost only for date-time variables. Skilled users can change a special call-back file use10reformat.ado to accomodate any changes in formats they demand.
use10 was released in October, 2008.
To install use10 type literally the following in Stata's command prompt:
findit use10
Then click on the link for -use10- in the Stata's viewer and click the -install- link.
Individual files from this package are available from the RePEc archive
To import a file type the following command in Stata's command line:
use10 filename
Extended syntax is described in the help file for use10 available when the command is installed in Stata.
