[Epidata-list] Large data file

Hi,

I need to create a database with approximately 900 fields and 1900 observations. Can anyone foresee any problems with doing this in EpiData? I'm aware that all fields must fit within 999 lines of text. Adding headings and spacing between some lines could easily take me beyond 999 lines of text. Presumably I can have 2 or 3 fields on some lines in order to remain within the 999 limit?

Cheers, Suzanna
