In Stata, how do I save a data set?

The save command will save a file in Stata format. You may add a specific pathname to save the file somewhere other than in the default directory.

The following command stores the current data set in memory into a file data1 in the temp directory of the C: drive (hard disk):

save c:\temp\data1

If a file by that name already exists, you must include the replace option to overwrite the previous version:

save c:\temp\data1, replace
