[EpiData-list] checking for duplicate records

Dear fellow, There is a way for checking duplicating records in epi data usi procedure 1. on the menu bar go to document 2 .slect validate duplicate files NB:name the file eg.a and b and when you select option 2 3 put appropriate file in file 1 or 2 and it will check it for you.

or the order option is to go to view data and sort the data and it will show you the duplicate files.
