in the guideline, we have a command as follows for USA example
shp2dta using s_06se12, database(usdb) coordinates(uscoord) genid(id)
for the above example i need
database (usdb) specified that we wanted the database file to be named usdb.dta.
coordinates (uscoord) specified that we wanted the coordinate file to be named uscoord.dta.
genid(id) specified that we wanted the ID variable created in usdb.dta to be named id
Given the above example for USA, can you guide me how to do it for the India shp ? What are the names given to the database, coordinates and genid in the shp file provided by you?
