[EpiData-list] Problems with variable labels after transferring data from Epidata to Stata

Hi:

I'm a newcomer to Epidata and am holding a course on Data entry and analysis for our Masters students this week. I have a problem in that variable labels that seem to work well in Epidata 3.02 are not maintained properly after exporting the data to Stata. It works fine when exporting to SPSS.

The pictures under http://www.cih.uib.no/presentations/hsommerfelt/EpidataLabels.JPG illustrate the problem.

I would greatly appreciate advice on how to solve the problem.

Yours sincerely
