From the Extract Download page, you need to right click on the SAS link and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As." The next step is reading the data file into SAS, for which we have provided a SAS command file. On the Extract Download page, you will see your extract requests along with the dates of the requests, descriptions of the requests, and three links on the right side of the page: data, codebook, and SAS. You will see ‘end of do-file’ when STATA has finished reading in the data. In the case that this file is named "trent001.do", you will need to type: Next, you will need to execute the ".do" file. If these files are in a folder called ‘IPUMS’ on your C drive, for instance, you should type: Upon opening STATA, you will need to be sure STATA is pointing to the directory that contains the ".dat" data file and the ".do" command file. Now you are ready to read the data into STATA. From the Extract Download page, you need to right click on the STATA link and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As." Be sure to save the STATA ".do" command file in the same directory as you saved the decompressed ".dat" data file. The next step is reading the data file into STATA, for which we have provided a STATA ".do" command file. Next, decompress the "dat.gz" file noting to which directory you save your decompressed ".dat" data file. First, right click on the "data" link and select "Save Link As". The first step is downloading and decompressing the data "dat.gz" file. On the Extract Download page, you will see your extract requests along with the dates of the requests, descriptions of the requests, and three links on the right side of the page: data, codebook, and STATA.
If the ".dat" data file is on your C drive, for instance, you need to change that line to:Īfter making this change, pull down the "Run" menu and select "All". If your IPUMS files are called trent001.sps and trent001.dat, then the first line of the ".sps" file will read: You need to change the first line of the ".sps" command file to indicate the location of the ".dat" file on your computer. From the Extract Download page, you need to right click on the SPSS link and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As." The next step is reading the data file into SPSS, for which we have provided an SPSS command file. Next, decompress the dat.gz file noting to which directory you save your decompressed data ".dat" file. On the Extract Download page, you will see your extract requests along with the dates of the requests, descriptions of the requests, and three links on the right side of the page: data, codebook, and SPSS. Instead, we provide raw ASCII data files and the command files necessary for reading the raw data into whichever statistical program you specify in Step 1 of the extract process (either SPSS, Stata, or SAS).
The IPUMS extract system does not provide data in the format of any particular statistics package.
