Hello to All, I would like to give names to dichotomisées variables. I make him(it) well under SPSS. It is a question " Been worth Label ". I do not know how to make. By example: I dichotomise the variable Q05 (Rate of Haemoglobin) in two cathégories; modQ05 (Class of Hb) 1=TxHb < 12 mg / dl, 2=TxHb > 12 mg / dl. Afterward, I would like to call 1 = "Anaemia 2" = "Hb Normale". So that when I make Freq modQ05, I obtain the distribution by looking directly Anaemia Hb Normale Thank you

Is there a way to automatically create a variable from 2-3 entered variables? For example: I have var1 ###### var2 ## var3 #
I would like epidata entry to automatically populate a new variable for each case, where the value would be var1, var2, var3 appended with each other:
var4 var1var2var3
I tried creating a data check command:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ var4 MUSTENTER AFTER ENTRY var4="var1" + string(var1) + "var2" + string(var2) + "var3" + string(var3) END END ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But that did NOT work. Thanks so much J.H.

Hello,
It seems that several mis-specifications are made in your code:
- first, why don't you declare initially the variables var1 to var3 as string variables? This would help to concatenate them.
- second, if the variables v1-v3 have to be numericals, the creation of the var4 should be something like : var4 = string(var1)+string(var2)+string(var3)
- third, to generate automatically v4 (defined as a string variable) I would have written the following code:
var4 BEFORE ENTRY var4 = string(var1)+string(var2)+string(var3) GOTO var5 (if var5 is the next variable in the QES file) END END
Please note that MUSTENTER may be not appropriate, unless you are sure that there will be no missing variables among v1-v3
Hope this helps
Regards
