Description

Hi,

The code creator is great, thanks for introducing this.

I'm struggling to resolve an issue that has arisen from a section of code created. In a 'long' dataset, cases in wave 'a' are being duplicated in the dataset. That is, 'pidp' and 'wavename' do not uniquely identify cases, and inspection reveals a duplication of all records from wave 'a' (coded 1). I don't fully understand the loop syntax to find where the problem may be.

Any help would be appreciated.

The code creator reference is: 3b620ca633234d53b8afc87bada06fce (also file attached)

Many thanks,
David

Thanks for your feedback and spotting the error. Our data team are working on correcting this. In the meantime we have provided a modified syntax file (changes in Lines 24 & 155) which should work.
