{title:Syntax}

{p 8 16 2}{it:command} {cmd:using} {it:filename}


{title:Description}

{pstd}
This part of Stata's syntax is used by only a few commands, such as
{cmd:infile} and {cmd:outfile}.  After the {cmd:using}, you specify a valid
{it:filename}.  You specify the {it:filename} in quotes if it contains blanks
or other special characters.
