One of the first lessons that SAS(R) programmers learn on the job is that numeric and character variables do not play well together, and that type mismatches are one of the more common source of errors in their-otherwise flawless-SAS programs. Luckily, converting variables from one type to ...

ReadStat uses iconv to automatically transcode text data into UTF-8, so you don't have to worry about character encodings.See src/readstat.h for the complete API. In general you'll provide a filename and a set of optional callback functions for handling various information and data found ...
However, some data sets even in those formats include dates as character string data. You can store such data more efficiently by converting it to Date data using the transforms argument. For example, suppose you have a character variable TransactionDate with a representative date of the form "...
