Dear Prof. Williams,

I use "fdause" and Stata can read the SAS file at .xpt type. I will further
contact university bookstore about the software you recommended. I
appreciate for your suggestion.

Best Regards,
Lynn

If you are at a University, see if it offers GradPlan. Stat/Transfer 
is much cheaper through GradPlan.
