I wonder if add "version 6" in your Stata program is helpful as it should be
as designed.

Subject: st: Using Stata 8 data files in Stata 6
Many thanks for help on my previous query. I hope someone can help me with
this one:
I've been trying to use a Stata 8 data file in Stata 6, but keep getting
the error message "file not Stata format". Is there a (relatively easy)
way of transforming Stata 8 files so that they are able to be used in Stata
6 ?
The command 'saveold' saves Stata 8 data in Stata 7 format, and doesn't
help in using Stata 6, or so it appears.
Thanks for any suggestions.
