18 Sep '13

Dear Listers, sorry I am asking this again, since I received no help yet. I wanted to do data validation using the Double Entry Verification mode, but when I used an automatically generated unique identifier for the records using three field it could not prompt for correction even when there was discordance. What is the solution? Kizito

Dear listers, I'm trying to convert EpiData files to Stata format. I've stumbled upon a problem similar to the one described by Jan in a post from 2008: http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2008q3/001082.html (This is the only reference I've been able to find on the list and Google) My command and output are as follows: ------------------------------- C:\test>EpiC.exe e STATA8 PEDPATIENT28032012ES * REPLACE EpiC - the EpiData command application version 3.1.2 14.

I've tested it on two machines: one running Windows Server 2008, and one on Linux (using Wine). The files are converted correctly using EpiData 3.1 GUI. Are there any solutions to this problem? Thanks a lot for help, radek

Combine 2 or more rec files together
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Dear members of theEpiData-Mailing list, I do my first steps with EpiData so please be tolerant with my disability. I just made some data entry when I recognized that I forgot to write down a variable in the qes-file. My way to handle the problem is to write a new qes-file than a new rec-file and start the data entry again from the beginning. But this can't be the accurate way, right? In your help-area I saw this hint here, but I really don't know how to find "Analysis" and I don't know, whether I can use this hint for my problem... /Richard, // //You can use Analysis to merge the files. It's easy to do manually: // //// //cd c:\directory with the files // //read file1 // //append file2 // //append file3 // //* etc // //savedata mergefile // //close // //// //If your file names are always the same, you can put those commands into // //a .pgm file to do this. // /// It would be very great if you can answer me my question, thank you very much in advance! Some of my colleagues said that I can combine several rec-files by exporting them to SPSS and than copy and paste the content - I hope you can recommend me an easier way!
