st: Truncating in two-way tables
Hi,
I am trying to tabulate certain conditions related to the chest
(read_trm), gathered from medical records, against whether or not a
person describes themselves as having a chest condition (yes/no). I have
included my code and a small amount of the table below (the -if-
statement is there to chose only those conditions defined as being chest
related). My problem is that the names of the conditions are being
truncated and so I cannot tell what all of them say.
I notice that if I tabulate only the condition (read_trm) and do not
include the second variable (i.e. a one-way table), I get more
characters in the table but it is still truncated. I think this is to do
with space in the results window, but is there any way that I can change
this so that I can read all of the entries under 'Read term'?
Thanks in anticipation,
Sara
