"invalid floating pint" error with DESCRIBE in Analysis
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 Aug '07

I have a small data file, created in EpiData 3.1 on Windows XP. It consists of 7 records and 8 variables. I load the data into Analysis version 1.1 build 68. I use the command line editor to issue DESCRIBE * command, and I get descriptive summaries of all variables, including the variable called AMOUNT. But when I issue the command DESCRIBE AMOUNT, I get an error message: Invalid floating point operation See attached html file. Any suggestions how I could solve this problem? Thanks. -- Christopher W.
