etlplus.file.dta

etlplus.file.dta module.

Helpers for reading/writing Stata (DTA) files.

Notes

  • A DTA file is a proprietary binary format created by Stata to store datasets

    with variables, labels, and data types.

  • Common cases:

    • Statistical analysis workflows.

    • Data sharing in research environments.

    • Interchange between Stata and other analytics tools.

  • Rule of thumb:
    • If the file follows the DTA specification, use this module for reading

      and writing.
