| Subject | st: AW: AW: Detach value label from string var |
| Date | Tue, 6 Apr 2010 18:16:42 +0200 |
We import our data by a XML-file where <lbllist> is given for all vars (e.g. <lblname varname='BN15_2__5'>BN15_2</lblname>) despite (non-)existing value labels defined under <value labels>. A trick would be to remove the value labels for all string vars in the XML-definition <lblname>. I hoped to do this by a Stata command and not going back to our contractor changing the export-mechanism...

The effect does not seem to occur here: ************* sysuse auto, clear outsheet using myfile.csv, comma replace clear* insheet using myfile.csv, comma clear d la dir codebook, p ************* -codebook- returns "make" as a "string var with embedded blanks", but how is this issue connected to any -label-?

April 2010 15:32 An: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Betreff: st: Detach value label from string var Another problem I cannot solve myself: By importing a dataset all variables get label values attached - also string vars. This leads to "string vars with embedded blanks" by codebook, p. For numeric vars with empty value labels I used: . label values `r(labelnotfound)' . But . label values `r(str_embedded)' . does not work. I even can not do this via the Variables Manager. Any idea how to do this? * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
