if you have StatTransfer you can transfer ASCII into .dta first
If I can toot our own horn here, I should mention that you can also
select cases, variables and perform random sampling. Stat/Transfer
automatically selects Stata types and sets string lengths to minimize
the size of your dataset.
These features will also work for .dta -> .dta transfers. It is thus
a handy tool for the "file too large for Stata" problem.
Best,
Steve
