[EpiData-list] Invalid date error

Dear Epidata Listserve,

The function on Epidata that only allows valid dates is not allowing me to save data after the append command. The data entry keyers sometimes enter a wrong date. The invalid date does not become a problem (i believe) until I run the savedata command. Then the invalid date error pops up and the data is not saved.

read "WOMAN 1.rec" /close append "WOMAN 2.rec" append "WOMAN 3.rec" etc... savedata "WOMANALL"

Is there any way to turn off the valid date requirement or work around this?

Thanks for the program and your support. Robert Johnston Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
