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.
Thanx aysha
Hello Aysha,
If the problem is with the deleted record, perhaps you could export that dataset to Epidata so that you get a new .rec file without the deleted record in it, and then try the validation using that file instead?

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
