Retrieve a saved data set in Stata
In Stata, you retrieve a saved data set with the use
command. You need to specify the path and data file name. For example, if you wish to retrieve a file called data1.dta
from your flash drive assigned to E:
, use the following command:
use e:\data1
You may ignore the default extension .dta
. If you use a different extension, you must include it as part of the file name.
Stata can handle only a single data set at a time in the memory. When a data set already exists in the memory, you must clear the memory and make room for the new data set by adding the clear
option, as follows:
use e:\data2, clear
