Re: PSPP-BUG: [bug #45886] Support for importing DTA Stata files

[Charles Johnson]

I'm new here, but although I think it's a good idea, developers working to 
improve software usability and overall add more types of analysis in pspp (see 
FAQ http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/faq.html). There are also ways to help.

There are ways to use in pspp dta files through the use of other software.
 - Epidata Manager http://www.epidata.dk/download.php
Epidata has a GUI that will let you easily import data in DTA format and export 
to SAV format.

 - R statistics https://www.r-project.org/
to Import:
library(foreign)
mydata <- read.dta("/home/user/mydata.dta")

to export:
library(foreign)
write.foreign(mydata, "home/user/mydata.txt", "home/user/mydata.sps", 
package="SPSS")
