Problem Note 32498: The IMPORT procedure is incorrectly documented for SPSS files and STATA files
The PROC IMPORT documentation for SPSS files and STATA files has the following example code:
/* importing SPSS files into SAS */
proc import data=work.customer
file="&tmpdir.customer.sav"
dbms=spss replace;
run;
/* importing STATA files into SAS */
proc import data=work.customer
file="&tmpdir.customer.dta"
dbms=stata replace;
run;
For the code to run correctly, yoou need to change the DATA= option to the OUT= option.
