Hi. It's possible to store comment legal values up to 80 characters long (EpiInfo / EpiData limit for string length). To do so, refer to a lookup table (see 'Comment legal' help section for that.) ______________________________________________ Gilles DELMAS Institut de Veille Sanitaire Dept.

Hello to all! I have being using data entry software for my work and that of epi data is very interesting and smooth but my problem is that it can not take long value label with 256 characters. Is there anyone that can give me a suggestion of defining value labels for a variable with long characters.
