Read a series of output data files (odf) created by the Simulation Tool Kit

    See Simulation Tool Kit for more information about the Simulation Tool
    Kit.

    This program reads Output Data Files created by running an Estimation
    Program on a series of Simulated Data Files.  After running this command,
    the file in memory contains the variables across all simulation codes for
    the Output Data File specified.

Syntax

stk_readodf , estprog( ) fname( ) ext( )

  estprog() This is the Estimation Program used from Stage 2.
  fname()  This is the name of the Output Data File used in Stage 2.
  ext()    This is the extension of the output data file from Stage 2.

Example

. stk_readodf , estcmd(sas_procreg) fname(ods1) ext(xpt)

    This assumes in Stage 2 the estimation program "sas_procreg" was
    executed, creating a series of files named "ods1.xpt". This reads the
    files across all of the simulation codes.
