Importing from Stata - problems with labels and comment legal

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

The reason for problems of importing Stata files with defined value labels can be that in Stata one can attach a label like: 1 female 2 male to a real variable. e.g. #.#### But in EpiData this would mean that the legal value should be: 1.0000 female 2.0000 male So to avoid this before saving the data file in Stata do this: a. read the file (use yourfile) b. compact the file (compress) c. save the file (save newfile) Then you can import the file into epidata and use the labels as defined with 1 for female and 2 for male. Alternatively you can import the first file into EpiData and then make a qes file from the recfile and remove the decimals from that variable. regards Jens Lauritsen The EpiData Association, (EpiData Foreningen)

Svar: [EpiData-list] STATA import

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

If there is a problem in this respect, please send a copy of that Stata file to info(a)epidata.dk and Just include a few cases, e.g. 5 That is in Stata: use xxxxx keep in 1/5 save epidataexport And then send the epidataexport.dta file as an attachment to me. All defined labels in Stata that I have tested are appropriately used in EpiData and vica versa. The only problem I have recently encountered was that EpiC renamed the names of the labels to epd1 epd2 etc, such that when exporting several files from epidata to stata format and doing a merge in stata there were problems with the labels. That error will be fixed in epic. regards Jens Lauritsen info(a)epidata.dk Initiator and Coordinator for EpiData >>> <epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> 29-11-04 8:32 >>> dear Epidata when importing a STATA file into Epidata the value labels are incorporated into the check file but the values are not set as legal values, so even if you enter what F9 suggests you should, epidata keeps saying illegal entry. So this is a problem when a STATA file with value labels is imported. Simple to fix (just put in legal value sin the check file)but not if you have a large file with many variables. Any advice?

Re: Guideline + export

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

>Question: when you export data from EpiData, can you export "notes" as well? The "notes" file is plain text, so there is no need to export it. You can open that type of file in any textprocessor, such as notepad, word, openoffice etc. To have your notes on using EpiData placed on the EpiData web server either send: a. A link to where you publish yourself on your own web server b. A copy to me (info(a)epidata.dk) Often the problem is not to make a note first time, but to keep it updated the whole time. So if you have acces to a web page at your institution option a is easiest for you since you can post updates without having to send a new copy to me. regards Jens Lauritsen Jens M.
