Problem exporting data to SAS
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Dear members, I am currently setting up my database and faced one problem that I can't figure out. I entered some real data and exported to SAS. However, most variables are coming as missing (.), but very few are coming with the labels. I am thinking that it's something related to the checks on EpiData and not a SAS problem. If anyone could help me I would appreciate. Following attached is the .rec file. Thanks in advance, Rafael

I create qes/rec/chk files with 1 respondent and send to a data capturer via email. She has problems opening the files in EpiData. We are both on Version 3.1 / Windows based. Any ideas what could be causing this? She can make the files on her machine with no problem and send them to me.

EpiData Entry Help file
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Colleagues: The EpiData Entry Help file is no more accessible in Windows Vista and Windows 7 as Microsoft has changed how help files work. It can be fixed easily with a Microsoft patch for either OS: Windows Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6eb… Windows 7: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=258aa5ec-e3d9-4228… ...as long as it is a 32-bit machine. With Windows 7, 64-bit, I am unable to fix the problem (even after fiddling with the registry as per MS instructions). Anybody with an idea how to fix it?
