Are there any records in your rec file that are marked for deletion? I had EpiData Analysis stall on me when it tried to read a rec file with a deleted record. I used the 'pack file' function in EpiData to get rid of the records that were marked for deletion. After that it worked fine. I suppose you could also undelete these marked records, but then they will show up in your analysis. Rod

merging of files

Hi there, I am in the process of merging files in EpiData Analysis. I am looking for syntax that would allow me to keep all the records in the file not just the records that are in common in file1 (individual information) and file2 (visit information). File 2 contains only information of those that are already included in File1. For example, file1 has a 100 records and file2 has 10. One person has 5 visits and 5 others have one record. The merged file ideally includes all records from file1 and file2 (104 records). I have tried several options and failed as there are duplicate ID's. Example: close logclose read "C:\file1.rec" merge id /file="C: \file2.rec" /table savedata "C:\file3.rec " /replace I am looking forward to hear how I can resolve this issue. Thanks, Renate
