Dear Statalisters. I usually work in both SPSS and STATA and I found some
kind of interesting thing. I usually use STAT Transfer to convert the
databases but I found that all my labels that in SPSS has a capital letter
at the beginning are transformed to lower case labels without exception
(lets say 1 Female, 2 Male in SPSS are transformed to 1 female 2 male in
STATA).
Is there a way to avoid this?

Stat/Transfer does this in an attempt to mimic the native style of the package to which it is transferring (both Stata and R/S-Plus typically use lower case). You can turn this feature off by checking the general option titled "Preserve name and label case".
