I have a large data base that will not have the value labels of the
variables as part of the output file. I will trnasfer the file from spss
to stata using stat transfer. The file is created originally in Ci3
which is a
survey software, that used to produce the value labels for codes in each
of the variables. Its latest version does not seem capable of doing that
anymore.It is from sawtooth software. The data base will have
280 questions and I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to get the
value labels created in stata from these sources.
One way might be to build the program once, and then append all
subsequent
data that comes from the survey. I assume the append command will apply
the
variable labels and the value labels to new data that is appended.
At the present I can't think of any other alternative.. does anyone work
with
the Sawtooth Software and stata? I would like to talk with you if you
do.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions I might obtain.
