What can I do if I cannot open a CUF (or SUF) with my Stata version because it contains too many variables?
Usually it is possible to load only a part of a data set with certain commands.
Use data
Do I have to sign a contract to use a Campus Use File (CUF)?
A complete application is not required to use a Campus Use File (CUF). All we need from you is some statistical information.
Is it possible to work collaboratively via remote desktop (or on-site)?
Yes, it is possible to access a data product via remote desktop (and on-site) with multiple researchers and collaborate in a shared project directory.
What do I do if I cannot find what I am looking for in the RDC-DZHW data?
In principle, the search portal only lists the data products available in the RDC-DZHW. If you do not find what you are looking for, you may find further DZHW inventory data or data from other research data centres in Germany helpful.
