But the dataset gets saved as SYNTAX file with an extension of " .sps" - Then open this syntax file in SPSS (using open-syntax in menu bar) , you will get a list commands/syntax. Read the instructions at the top of that page. You have to go to the last command/syntax SAVE and remove the * mark to execute the SAVE command. After removing the * mark, just click the RUN in the menubar (RUN all) and your SPSS dataset (.sav file) is ready with labels and label values. -I checked with the EpiData manager and it is working.

Select top 3 among 8

Hello all. I have a small constraint in my chk file and I wonder how I could program it. I have 8 options (8 variables V1 - V8). Interviewers are asked to chose their top 3 options. So that the legal values are 1, 2, 3 and there must not be the same value twice. I dont know how to write short instructions to check that. Thanks for your advices. Serge. -- *M.

I use EpiData3.1 because I have used to the qes/chk/rec model. Now I encountered a strange problem as follow:My problem: In my project there are a series of y/n variables (0: no 1: yes 9:unkown) with default value 0. When I enter default 0 for about 40 times the EpiData goes funny.all qes,chk,rec files are in the attached. The error message after entering 40 of 0 for y/n variable:Access violation at address 00002020. Read of address 00002020. The qes and chk files are compressed into file named ontar.rar which is attached .Many thanks and bestwishes!hshxue@aliyun.com22:21 2013/8/1
