Hi,

I am merging several files and I would like to verify that I have done it properly. If I made an error, some encoded variable labels mismatch the original string variable there were initially converted from. How can I flag observations for which the string does not match the label of the encoded variable? Thanks.

I enclose the data that I want to check ("stock" and "Code" should match, but sometimes do not) but unfortunately "dataex" does not replicate the labels I see in the screen. I enclose a screenshot to complement the explanation Array .

Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
clear
input float mydate double stock str6 Code
