SEER*Prep 2.3.0
Released September 2004
The SEER*Prep software converts ASCII text data files to the SEER*Stat database format, allowing you
to analyze your cancer data using SEER*Stat. SEER*Prep performs two main functions: it converts text data to the specific
binary format required by SEER*Stat, and it creates the SEER*Stat data dictionary.
SEER*Stat 5.2 or later is required to analyze any database generated with SEER*Prep 2.3.0.
