Stat/Transfer 11.0 by 
Product Description
Stat/Transfer is designed to simplify the transfer of statistical data between different programs.
Manual transfer is not only time-consuming, it is error-prone. For
those in possession of data sets with many variables, it represents a
serious impediment to the use of more than one program.
Stat/Transfer removes this barrier by providing an extremely fast, reliable and automatic way to move data.
Stat/Transfer will automatically read statistical data in the internal
format of one of the supported programs and will then transfer as much
of the information as is present and appropriate to the internal format
of another.
Stat/Transfer preserves all of the precision in your data, while
automatically minimizing the size of your output data set.
Stat/Transfer also allows control over the storage format of your
output variables.
In addition to converting the formats of variables, Stat/Transfer also
processes variable names, missing values and value and variable labels
automatically.
Stat/Transfer can save hours and even days of manual labor, while at
the same time eliminating error. Furthermore, you gain this speed and
accuracy without losing flexibility, since Stat/Transfer allows you to
select just the variables and cases you want to transfer.
In addition to the standard graphical user interface, a command
processor allows you to run a transfer in batch mode. This makes it
straightforward to set up fully automatic batch procedures for
repetitive tasks.

Principal Characteristics
Accuracy
Stat/Transfer
moves your data from one program to another with no loss of precision,
while producing the smallest datasets possible. All of your metadata –
value labels, variable labels and missing values - are accurately and
effortlessly transformed.
Reproducibility
Stat/Transfer can automatically produce a log
documenting your transfer operations. It can also produce a
Stat/Transfer command processor that will enable you to re-run the
transfer with just a few clicks. Because this program reflects the
entire state of your options settings as well as all of the other
information entered in the user interface, it allows you to thoroughly
document your data transfer.
Flexibility
With Stat/Transfer you can produce just the output
you need. It is easy to select variables, cases and data types. A
variety of options (all with sensible defaults) allow you to tailor
your transfer so that it meets the needs that you have today and in the
future.
Speed
Most transfer operations take just a few seconds and
few clicks of the mouse. Of course you could use other tools to do what
Stat/Transfer does, but it would take you hours, days, and even weeks
of effort to duplicate what Stat/Transfer does in a few seconds. What
is your time worth?
Ease of Use
Fast transfers aren't fast if you have to spend time
puzzling over how to set them up. With Stat/Transfer’s intuitive user
interface, most transfers can be performed with only a few mouse
clicks. For more complicated operations, context sensitive help is a
click away. Stat/Transfer is designed from top to bottom to save you
valuable time.
New in Version 11
Stat/Transfer Version 11 has added full support for the following formats:
- Data Documentation Initiative Schemas
- Open Document Spreadsheets
- MPlus (Write Only)
- Minitab 14 (Read Only)
- RATS
- SPSS through Version 19
- Stata 12
Stat/Transfer Version 11 has a number of new or improved features.
- 64
Bit Windows Support. Stat/Transfer is now available as a native 64 Bit
Windows application. (Both the 32 and 64 bit versions can be used under
the same license.)
- Mac OS-X Lion Support. New support for OS-X 10.7
- Operating System Support. New support for Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
- New Options for ASCII and Text Files. You can now
optionally read variable labels from the row following the field names
in worksheets.
- Read Variable Labels from Excel Files. You can now
optionally read variable labels from the row following the field names
in Excel and other worksheet files.
- Time Series Options. An extensive set of options are
available for controlling how time-series are read from file formats
such as RATS and how time series data are written to programs which
expect rectangular data, such as SAS and Stata.
- Improved Character Substitution. When exact character
matches are not possible in your output character set, improved
substitution algorithms usually find acceptable alternatives for
single-byte characters.
