New in Version 10

Stat/Transfer Version 10 has added full support for the following formats:

  • Matlab Seven Datasets
  • SPSS Version 17
  • Statistica Versions 7-9 (on Windows)
  • SAS Version Nine
  • Triple-S Survey Interchange Format

Stat/Transfer Version 10 has a number of new or improved features.

  • International character set support. Stat/Transfer can now read datasets in any character set, including multibyte, far-eastern, and Unicode characters.
  • Expanded Options. The option screens have been expanded and reorganized to allow much greater control over the transfer process and the user interface.
  • Long variable labels for Stata. Variable labels longer than Stata’s eighty character maximum are now written to Stata both as truncated variable labels and, in full, as Stata notes.
  • Automatic program generation. You can specify that a program for the command processor be written when a transfer is carried out using the Stat/Transfer user interface. All of the information you have specified for the transfer will be translated into a Stat/Transfer command file, including all of your option settings. This enables you to reproduce your transfer operation either from the user interface or as a batch job from your operating system. It also allows you to precisely document how your transfer was performed.
  • Improved data viewer. The data viewer has been improved and will now display long strings, international character sets, variable characteristics and value labels.
  • Value label browser. You can now examine value labels for each variable on the Variables tab.
  • Quick variable type changer. You can change the types of many variables at a time, using wildcards, ranges, or lists.
  • Automatic transfer logging. You can tell Stat/Transfer to automatically write a log file to disk every time you do a data transfer. The log file will contain detailed information about what has occurred your transfer. By default this will go to the same directory as your output file.
  • New user interface, including one for Linux. Linux and, soon, Solaris have a new graphical user interface. This newly-designed interface is now the same on Windows, OS-X and Linux.
  • Operating System Support. New support for Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
