DSCONCAT: Stata module to concatenate a list of Stata data files into memory

Roger Benedict Newson ()

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: dsconcat is a multiple-file version of use. It takes, as input, a list of filenames, assumed to belong to Stata data files, and creates a new data set in memory, containing a concatenation of all or a subset of the observations and variables in all the input data sets. The observations are ordered primarily by source data set and secondarily by order of observations within source data set. Optionally, dsconcat creates new variables specifying, for each observation, the source data set of origin and/or the sequential order of the observation within its source data set of origin.
