Writing support

Open jkrumbiegel opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

This PR continues the work in https://github.com/queryverse/ReadStat.jl/pull/46

It allows writing Tables.jl tables into the supported file formats. Metadata support is currently restricted to passing a file label only. Long strings over the threshold of 2045 bytes are currently not read back in correctly and I can't test if the proprietary software packages targeted would read these. I was also surprised that missing strings are read back in as "" but that might be intended. Only Stata files support the file types Int8, Int16, Int32, Float32, all others seem to convert these to Float64.
