I have sent an example of the bug, including logfile, .epx, .dta, to info at epidata.dk. I have received the following automatic answer: This e-mail is unfortunately heavily burdened by spam. If you have a general comment or question on the use of EpiData Software, please search the EpiData list. To join the list or see contents follow the link on the main EpiData site frontpage. Join the list to ask the question again. According to Stata the variable format is %5.0f.

The values 32741 to 32767 are converted to (extended) missing data, above 32768 numbers are converted to negative numbers. Since the range [-32767 - 32768] contains 2^16 Numbers, I assume the export routine handles integer as 16bit Integers. We've tested it with EpiData Manager v2.0.2.28 and Stata 12,13,14.
