Writer? #2

Does this library only read stata.dta files? Is it possible to write them?

Thanks!

Sorry, only reading is implemented.

Is the Series type going to be extended to hold information such as labels in Stata?

kshedden commented 5 years ago

I think what you want is available through some exported fields of the StataReader struct, e.g.:

If something important is not accessible let me know.

My bad I see it now.
