This webinar will address common problems in the setup files provided by ICPSR for data files. Because most of ICPSR’s data processing is automated and the volume of data files is large and very heterogeneous in quality, size, and characteristics, the setup files and “ready-to-go” files do not always work perfectly. This webinar will help you to anticipate and fix many of these common problems. Title: ICPSR Webinar: When Setup Files Go Bad…. Debugging your SAS, SPSS, and STATA code so it works!
