Hi everyone,

I might ask one of the stupidest questions but here is a problem that I've been struggling with for several hours...

I'd like to import some datasets of .dat file and found this wonderful work from NBER that uploaded the list of do-files and dictionary to import the .dat data files.
In the dofile, it seems that I have to have "dct" files saved in the directory:

Code:
local dat_name "$dir/l04puw1.dat"

** The following line should contain the path to your output '.dta' file 

local dta_name "$dir/stata/sippl04puw1.dta"

** The following line should contain the path to the data dictionary file 

local dct_name "$dir/dic/sippl04puw1.dct"

** The line below does NOT need to be changed 

quietly infile using "`dct_name'", using("`dat_name'") clear
My question is how to have this dct file downloaded...? If I click one of the dct files in the website above, it leads me to another webpage, for example this, and I don't know how to download it as dct file or how to create dct file using what is written there. Yes, it's my first time using the dictionary file to browse some kind of text-file type data and it's very confusing honestly. I sincerely hope this stupid question doesn't bother you and hope anyone generously answer this question. Thank you so much for reading my question!
