If so, do you know if it is
possible to get variable and value labels from SAS into Stata?
Yes. There is some confusion here. SAS stores _variable_ labels in the
data file, and Stat/Transfer copies them, no problem. Stat/Transfer can
also deal with SAS _value_ labels, which as noted are stored in a
separate file. There is quite clear documentation in the Stat/Transfer
manual for this issue. The limitation arises in SAS' unique treatment
of a range of values as mapping to a single label, which as ST notes
does not have a parallel in other stat packages. This requires some
separate processing. There is no problem with one-to-one value labels.
