#STAT TRANSFER SAS FORMATS HOW TO#
This page outlines how to convert data files between SAS and other statistical packages. However, if researchers choose to make modifications in a different statistical package, they will need to conver their data to a SAS-formatted dataset. Researchers who are submitting their IPUMS extract without modification may simply request their extract as a SAS-formatted data file. Users interested in merging IPUMS versions of NHIS and/or MEPS with NCHS restricted access versions of NHIS data must submit their supplemental data file as a SAS-formatted dataset.
