Dear Floor:
Q1: Example field SEX:
LABEL label_sex 1 Female 2 Male 9 Unknown END
...
sex COMMENT LEGAL USE label_sex SHOW TYPE COMMENT END
Q2:
Make exact replicates of the EpiData REC and CHK files:
FILE01.REC, FILE01.CHK FILE02.REC, FILE02.CHK ... FILE57.REC, FILE57.CHK
Have the 57 (example) students enter the data into the 57 twins, ensure that all have a unique identifier, then in EpiData Analysis:
read "file01.rec" append /file="file02.rec" append /file="file03.rec" ... append /file="file57.rec" savedata "allfiles.rec" /replace
and you are done.
Regards,
Hans

I built some data entry files for entering the questionnaires of my research. There are 2 dilemmas I don't how to solve and which I cannot find in the help menu.
- Is it possible to see the labels (like 0 = no; 1 = yes) while
entering data? How? 2. Some students will help me entering data on different computers (so I copied the datafiles and put it on those computers). Is it possible to copy records so I can put them in the end all together in the original datafile on my computer? If yes, how?
I hope some-one can answer my two questions
