Thank you for The answers. How about my labels being shortaned into two letters? Any thoughts?

Explanation to Lars:
- We will implement a grid view function, such as the one shown now in
EntryClient with the find dialog
- This is an error and a problem
When we export data from a string field which is UTF8 - it is not simple to calculate the length after conversion to some other character representation. Therefore all the fields are length 207 after export. We could experiment with a shorter export length.
Until other solution do the following: a. export to Stata b. read the dta file into Stata c. compres (run this command in Stata)

Dear Epidata list
I have two questions for you:
- How can i get an overview of my records?(a list accessable with in the
epidata manager or entery client. 2. In epidata when i export to stata the data in stata turns out different from what i want. A. My string variables are in s207% format leaving them extremely wide. I have specified length in epidata to 25 (as i want a 25 character entry) B. I have some integer variables that i have labeled, the length of the integer variables are 2 (-9 to 8) these are labeled for readability in stata. Some of the labels such as male / female are longer than 2 but i am not allowed to change the length of the integer variables to above 2. So when I export to stata my labels are ma (male) and fe (female).
What am i doing wrong?
