Subject   st: Merge with "value labels" of same name but differnet contents
Date   Tue, 12 Oct 2004 09:26:37 +0200

I tried to find an ado for merging datasets to handle the situation that the files have the same names for value label definitions but the contents were different.
e.g.
dataset one: label v1 is: 1 yes 2 no applied to variable d1
dateset two: label v1 is : 1 small 2 medium 3 large applied to variable s1

When merging data either d1 or s1 gets wrong labels.
Any suggestions apart from going back to the definition in the old files and renaming there ? (before I write an ado to handle this).
