    How to open stata 14 files in Stata 12-13

    Hello,
    I am using stata12 and stata13, both are up to date.
    I try to open stata 14 file in stata 13.1 and get an error like '.dta too modern'. I tried to open the same file by using use13 command in stata 12, but this did not work as well. I have attached the file, which originally was shared here. Could you say, is there any way that i may open it?
    Kind Regards,
    Dias

    I can think of two ways: (1) whomever gave you the version 14 data set should save it use the saveold command; (2) use StatTransfer

    Since you downloaded the file from Statalist, I'm thinking you may have wanted it to study the technique discussed in the topic you got it from. With that in mind, I downloaded the original, saved it in Stata13 format, then attached it here. I no longer have access to Stata 13, so I haven't tested this.
    The general answer to your question, though, remains as Rich said: to read Stata 14 datasets, you must either upgrade Stata or purchase the current version of StataTransfer.

Julie,
I don't know anything about the YRBSS in particular, but based on the response you received from CDC, it sounds like the ,dat files are simply text files (as opposed to files in a particular software-specific format). You can check this by trying to read these file in a text editor (e.g., WordPad for Windows or similar) and see if the text contains readable characters. If so, then you need to find the documentation for the file(s) and use the Stata infile or infix commands to read them into memory. Let us know if you need more specific help with these commands.
Regards,
Joe

Julie,
According to the YRBSS website (http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/yrbs/data/), .dat files are indeed ASCII text files. You can download the User's Manual for each year, which will guide you in importing the file into Stata. Alternatively, if you have SAS available, you can use the SAS input program to read the data into SAS and then use StatTransfer to convert it to Stata.
Regards,
Joe

If you have more time than money, you could use PSPP (the freeware version of SPSS, www.gnu.org/software/pspp) to read in the files and save them to SPSS (.sav) format with variable and value labels, then use Sergiy Radyakin's usespss (from SSC) to read in the SPSS file.

Hi Julie,
If you have stat transfer you can use the ASCII to Stata function. I recently did this with Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

I am a Mac user and found a very simple solution: Change the extension from .dat to .txt, then run through StatTransfer as an ASCII/text file.
To make the conversion, right click the file and select 'get info.' A box will pop up with info for the file. About 2/3 of the way down will be the name of the file. Delete the extension .dat and replace with .txt. Press 'Enter' and Apple will ask if you want to use the new extension. Say 'Yes' and you are on your way!
Only issue is the file does not contain variable names. Instead, StatTransfer will input 'Col1' through 'Col###'.

This may help some YRBS users. I was having the same problem as Julie. I downloaded the Access file, read that into excel, saved it as a CSV, and read it into STATA with the column headings intact. This was a big time saver, instead of having to write a .do program.
Happy analyzing, Michelle

Download Stata 13

the -infix- command can handle .dat files if you need to specify the length of each variable, I think -import delimited- can too if your file has a delimiter.
