Abstract: use10save9 is a program that helps out with opening Stata 10/11 files from within Stata 9 and then saving them in Stata 9 format using the user-written -use10- (Radyakin, 2008) and -save9- (Ercolani, 2011) user-written commands. May be applied to a quite generally defined/matched set of Stata datasets within a defined folder and, if selected, also recursively with respect to all matched corresponding offspring-folders. The simplest syntax is purely based on defaults. All options are optional. An alternative, secondary, usage might be to simply use the function as an extension to -save9- in order to save matched sets of datasets in Stata 9 format while being in Stata 10+.
