Runnable example

import delimited "hsb2.csv", clear
describe
summarize math read write

The example imports the teaching CSV, inspects the resulting schema, and summarizes three numeric columns.

Checks after import

Confirm the row and column counts.
Check whether numeric columns were imported as numeric values.
Inspect missing values and unexpected categories.
Compare a few summary statistics with the source file.

Delimited files vary in separator, quoting, encoding, decimal conventions, and malformed-row behavior. A successful import does not by itself prove that every field was interpreted as intended.

Other input formats

stats.camp also has documented paths for .dta, Excel, and Parquet data. Format-specific metadata can differ, so use the workflow appropriate to the source and verify important fields.
