Another form of solving a corrupted file is to use statransfer(a statistical software that enhance file transfer from one format to other eg. from spss file to rec or any other file)with this software you transfer the file back to rec and it will solve your problem.

How to: Recapture a corrupted file
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

In some versions of some computers open files can get "messed" up if power is suddenly lost. Over the years we have strengthened EpiData Entry with several alternative mechanisms to try to avoid problems in this situation (e.g. only one record at a time is in memory. The rest is on the harddisk or floppy.). But despite this the error have been reported at rare instances. Also over the years I have seen files from this situation which was a combination of a rec datafile, a word document and a presentation or drawing. In other words this is part of a operating system problem. How to resolve ? If a corrupted file message is given you can do the following: Manual repair of corrupt files: 1 Make a second copy of your REC and CHK files and do the following (MAKE SURE IT IS A COPY !!!): 2. Verify that YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL CORRUPTED file in a separate place. 3 Open the extra copy of the REC file in any ascii editor (e.g. notepad.exe). 4 Make sure you are using a fixed font. 5 Look for records with strange or odd formatted records and delete the complete record (Make a note of which one such that you can re-enter it later in EpiData) 6 Delete the parts with a strange format. 7 Pay particular notion to length of lines. All records should show same pattern. 8 Save the file and try to open in EpiData. If you think the above is hopeless - then try to regain other documents or files that were also open at the time, e.g a spreadsheet, a text document or a database from another programme than EpiData. The above is a modifed version of a user supplied explanation earlier. Regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

How to: Recover "epidata rec files" or get sufficient help from others.
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

A good recovery strategy when something goes wrong is: 1. Ask yourself "When was I in control the last time" 2. What did I do since I was in control of the situation. 3. What might I have done wrong since the control. 4. What was I intending to do at the time when I felt no longer in control of the situation. 5. Do I think the "loss of control" is due to a software error, a hardware (e.g. harddisk broken) error or a user error ? 6. How much work should I repeat to continue working from my last backup of all data (I assume you do have a copy somewhere). 7. Can I repeat the steps from the "in control situation" to the "out of control situation" and the same thing happens every time. If you can answer these questions you have a very good clue for the solution or the appropriate information to tell someone who can assist you - e.g. other users on this list.

Good Colleagues Although I did not manage to catch who downloaded the number 1000 of analysis after release of v1.0 I think it is worth mentioning. It seems like the product is being received quite well. Regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association
