PROC IMPORT STATA TO SAS WITH STATA 17

[wavogo]

Dear SAS Experts,

When I used older versions of STATA (12) I had no issues with Proc Import but when I upgraded to STATA 17, I am getting this message. How can I resolve this? Thank you!

"For Stata, Release flags of 103 to 115 are supported.  You had -> 60

Requested Input File Is Invalid

ERROR: Import unsuccessful.  See SAS Log for details."

Looks like you have got this problem: https://support.sas.com/kb/50/326.html

It appears the solution is to save your STATA file as a Version 12 one.
