SAS to STATA

[mjm6na]

Hello!

I have exported SAS data tables to Stata successfully. Unfortunately the value labels in SAS include special characters (such as "é" or "à"), which are not exported well in Stata. Is there a command to preserve these special characters in Stata? 

Many thanks

Do you have those special characters in

• values
• labels
• or variable names

?

My apologies for the vagueness. 

The special characters are in the labels in SAS.

Before going any further, make sure that all your software components use the same encoding. If SAS uses UTF-8, set STATA to the same.
