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. Nov. 2006 (C) Copyright 2002-2006 - EpiData Association, http://www.epidata.dk Programmed by M.Bruus. Design: JM.Lauritsen & M.Bruus
0 % doneException EAccessViolation in module EpiC.exe at 00061B3F. Access violation at address 00461B3F in module 'EpiC.exe'. Write of address 022AC000. -------------------------------
The files are converted correctly when I use "STATA" option, but since it converts to Stata 6 version I don't get the correct variable names whenever they are too long. 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
