Cannot read Stata12 files

Postby mcabello » Mon Apr 16, 2012 9:29 am

Hello
I've just updated Stata from v11 to v12. Unfortunately, my .dtas cannot be read anymore. Is there any update which makes stata-12-files readable?
I have Eviews 7. Thank a lot!
Regards,
Matías

First we've heard about it. Will investigate.

Stata has a saveold command that lets you save as Stata 11 files in Stata 12, so you don't need to go back completely.

To help speed us along, perhaps you could send us a variety of Stata 12 files we can play with (we have Stata 11 here, but haven't got an updated copy of 12 yet). A file with the new "business dates" would be great.

Dear Gareth
I'm really sorry, but I don't know exactly what this file with new "business dates" is. Regarding saveold, that works fine. Thanks a lot!
