There is an easy solution, provided your records are in exactly the same order. Create two new rec files in Analysis:
read filea define recid ### recid = recnumber savedata filea1 close read fileb define recid ### recid=recnumber savedata fileb1
You now have two rec files that match in recid

Hello
I have entered my data twice on epi data and would now like to validate files to make sure that my data is accurate. I have different ID numbers so can not run on Id keys but I have entered the data in the same order so the record numbers match. I have 1 deleted record in one database which I have adjusted for but checking the box that says ignore deleted records. I have 126 records in total when I go to validate files it comes up with an error box saying that it cannot create log file.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be fixed.
