Saving data

After all this work you probably want to save the labels so that they don't need to be re-entered.

save "c:\My Documents\thomas\esoph"
will save all the data and labels in a file called esoph.dta. If this file already exists, Stata will refuse to overwrite it and you must use
save "c:\My Documents\thomas\esoph", replace
The saved file can be read back into Stata by typing
use "c:\My Documents\thomas\esoph"
or with the File| Open dialog box.
