Thanks to Kit Baum, a new Stata command USESPSS is now available for
download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to download it.
ssc describe usespss
ssc install usespss
USESPSS was presented at SNASUG2008 in Chicago.
USESPSS loads an SPSS-format (*.sav) dataset into memory.
It supports compressed and non-compressed SPSS files from
Windows and UNIX/Mac platforms. It preserves the variable and
value labels, long variable names, extended missing values, and
provides optimization of variable types. USESPSS is implemented
as a plugin for 32-bit Stata for Windows and is comparable in
speed with commercially available conversion software.
