Thank you and this is good to know. a coupe of questions, please. 1. this suggest the limit to the number of files to be appeneded is realted to machine memory? 2. this is the solution to the "lack" of ability to dynamically read multiple files? Would those of you who have used these techniques please let me know what size of the files you have been working with and, any other options you have used. Thank you very much, Kelly -----Original Message----- From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca [mailto:epidata-list@lists.umanitoba.ca] Sent: Fri 9/9/2005 8:14 PM To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Cc: Subject: [EpiData-list] Appending Dear Eleni: There are two ways to append - one is within EpiData, the other highly efficient within EpiData Analysis.

Good Colleagues The final release candidate for version one of EpIData Analysis has now been placed at Http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php A 7 page introduction document is also available. If none of you find any major errors version one is just around the corner for public release. All reported errors have been fixed. Several requests for features have been sent. These will be prioritised for later. Including work on versions in languages other than English. On EpiData.dk some reconstruction will take place in regards to downloading and credits etc. Also the funding.htm page has not been fully updated during this year. The updating is expected within a few weeks. Kind regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Please forgive my ignorance of the program. I am trying to print off a number of tables that I have generated. Preferably one per page and have not been able to accomplish this. Is it possible to do and if so how? Thank you.

Hello! Is it possible to export the data labels to Excel file as well? (e.g. to have labels instead of the variables name then, it works for SPSS and Stata, but could not find it for Excel). Thank you in advance! /Ziad -- Ziad El-Khatib Division of International Health (IHCAR) Department of Public Health Sciences Karolinska Institutet Norrbacka 2nd Floor SE-171 76 Stockholm, Sweden Tel: +46 (0)8 51770185 Mobile: +46 (0) 73 776 48 59 Fax: +46 (0)8 311590

Automating Append/Merge
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Use EpiC, which you can download from the epidata website. EpiC let's you send commands to EpiData. It's all explained in the documentation. You can set up a sequence of commands in a file and get Windows to run them whenever you want. Jamie Hockin Public Health Agency of Canada 1.

RE: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 23, Issue 1

Hi; I propose you this Edit controls for VAR1: VAR1 if VAR1 = 1 then hide VAR10 ELSE unhide VAR10 ENDIF END END In this case, var10 will be greyed, and no entry will be possible as soon as var1 is put to 1; the second if is necessary in case you decide, once VAR1 has been put to 1 to come back to it, and to put another value. If 'unhide' is not specified, Var10 would stay unusable. Dr DIBY JEAN-PAUL KONAN Médecin Santé Publique Resp.

Hi; Try the following: Edit controls for VAR1: VAR1 if VAR1 = 1 then hide VAR10 ENDIF if VAR1 <> 1 then unhide VAR10 ENDIF END END In this case, var10 will be greyed, and no entry will be possible as soon as var1 is put to 1; the second if is necessary in case you decide, once VAR1 has been put to 1 to come back to it, and to put another value. If 'unhide' is not specified, Var10 would stay unusable. What you did could not work: VAR10 can't be hidden once you are on it.
