BTW, -usesas- requires that you also have SAS installed on the same
computer because it invokes SAS to load a SAS dataset into Stata.

-usesas- can run a SAS program to load the last dataset created by
the SAS program.  So you can download the SAS dataset and create a
SAS program like so:

**************************************************;

 libname in "C:\data";

 proc format;
   ...copy and paste all the formats code here...
 run;

 data work.naaccr_cina_2002_2006_sas_data;
  set in.naaccr_cina_2002_2006_sas_data;

  format reg regf.
         race racef.
         site sitef.
         sex sexf.
         age agef.
         pedsite pedsitef.
         combined combinef.
         nhiacomb nhiacf.
         adltincd pedincd yn.
  ;;

run;
**************************************************;

and save it to:
  C:\data\cina.sas
and invoke -usesas- like so:

  usesas using "C:\data\cina.sas"

My Stata command -saswrapper- is designed specifically to run SAS code from within Stata and could also run your SAS program like so:

  saswrapper using "C:\data\cina.sas", nodata usesas

The "nodata" option means "do not transfer the dataset currently in Stata to SAS". -saswrapper- does that by default assuming you want to run some SAS code on the Stata dataset in memory. The -usesas- option loads the last dataset created in the SAS program back to Stata.

Thanks, Steve, we'll try them.

StatTransfer or Don Blanchette's -usesas- should convert the SAS data
files.

To convert the VALUE statments, PERL code at
http://grafodexia.blogspot.com/2009/04/perl-code-to-convert-sas-code-to-stata.html
might help. I've not used the last two.

Dear Listers,

Has anyone translated (parts) of this into Stata?
