StatTransfer was extremely helpful for me in this regard as well.

I myself am a StatTransfer user, mostly because StatTransfer has a DOS
command mode, which made it possible for me to write the -stcmd- package
(downloadable from SSC) as a way for Stata programs to call
StatTransfer. I
presume that Amadou doesn't have StatTransfer.
DBMS Copy still doesn't have a DOS command mode (I think). However, I
seem
to recall that DBMS Copy has batch files, written in a command language
of
its own. Amadou might possibly write one of these batch files, or even
write a Stata program to write one of these batch files.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
Roger
