/* Stata User File for H120 Data */
/* */
/* This file contains information and a sample Stata program to create a permanent */
/* Stata dataset for users who want to use Stata in processing the MEPS data provided */
/* in this PUF release. Stata (StataCorp) has the capability to produce */
/* appropriate standard errors for estimates from a survey with a complex sample */
/* design such as the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). */
/* The input file for creating a permanent Stata dataset is the ASCII data file */
/* (H120.DAT) supplied in this PUF release, which in turn can be extracted from the */
/* .EXE file. After entering the Stata interactive environment access the Stata DO-File */
/* editor by clicking on the appropriate icon in the command line at the top of the */
/* screen. Copy and paste the following Stata commands into the editor and save as a */
/* DO file. A DO file is a Stata program which may then be executed using the DO command. */
/* For example, if the DO file is named H120.DO and is located in the directory */
/* C:\MEPS\PROG, then the file may be executed by typing the following command into */
/* the Stata command line: */
/* do C:\MEPS\PROG\H120.DO */
/* The program below will output the Stata dataset H120.DTA */

/************************************************************************************************
NOTES:
1. This program has been tested on Stata Version 10 (for Windows).
2. This program will create a permanent Stata dataset. All additional analyses
can be run using this dataset. In addition to the dataset, this program creates
a log file named H120.LOG and a data file named H120.DTA. If these files (H120.DTA and H120.LOG)
already exist in the working directory, they will be replaced when this program is executed.
3. If the program ends prematurely, the log file will remain open. Before running this
program again, the user should enter the following Stata command: log close
4. The cd command assigns C:\MEPS\DATA as the working directory and location of the input
ASCII and output .DTA and .LOG files and can be modified by the user as necessary.
5. Stata commands end with a carriage return by default. The command
#delimit ;
temporarily changes the command ending delimiter from a carriage return to a semicolon.
6. The infix command assumes that the input variables are numeric unless the variable name
is prefaced by str. For example, DUPERSID is the a string (or character) variable.
