SEER*Prep 2.4.6
Released May 25, 2012
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 6.2.3 or later is required to analyze any database generated with this version of SEER*Prep. If you are a new SEER*Prep user, see How to use SEER*Prep to Create a Database.
