Michael - 

I do  have a rudimentary program for writing out all observations of a
variable with commas as separators and putting as many on a line as you
desire - so you can then paste this into a bugs .odc page. Of course you are
responsible for sorting the data in the approriate order.

Here it is: The first argument is the variable name; the second ones is the
number of observations per line of output.


version 7.0
/* bugwrite.do - writes stat variable `y' in bugs format with `k'
values per row */
args y k

local N=_N
if mod(`N',`k')==0 {local r = `N'/`k'}
if mod(`N',`k')>0 {local r =1+int(`N'/`k') }
forv i=1(1)`r'{
   local i1=1+`k'*(`i'-1)
   local i2=`k'*`i'
   if `i2' > `N' { local i2=`N'}
   local a ""
        forv j=`i1'(1)`i2' {
           if `j' < `N' {
           local a="`a'"+ string(`y'[`j'])+","
           }
           if `j' == `N' {
           local a="`a'"+ string(`y'[`j'])+")"
           }
        }
   noi di "`a'
   }

Hopefully, this can be of some use.

Hi,
  Does anyone have a handy-dandy do file for exporting STATA data into a
format WinBugs can read? 
thanks,
