Stat/Transfer Version 10 has many new and improved features:
- International character set support
Stat/Transfer can now read datasets in any character set, including multibyte and far-eastern, and Unicode characters.
- Improved option screens
The option screens have been expanded and reorganized to allow much greater control over the transfer process and the user interface.
- 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 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 type 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 during your transfer. By default, this will go to the same directory as your output file.
- New user interface
The user interface is now the same on Windows, Mac OS-X, and Linux.
- Expanded variable labels
Variable labels longer than Stata’s maximum are now written to Stata both as truncated variable labels and in full as Stata notes.
Stat/Transfer Version 10 has added support for the following formats:
- Matlab Seven Datasets
- SPSS Version 17
- Statistica Versions 7-8 (on Windows)
- Triple-S Survey Interchange Format
