Hi,

I'm trying to append some 35 data sets, one for each state. I used a loop to append them and saved as a new file. These data sets have identical variable names. However, a problem I have faced earlier in another data is despite variable names being same, and the question being same, the the original value labels were not identical across the multiple data sets. Thus an append without checking the individual labels had left me with nonsensical value labels in the appended data.

Now due to this large no. of data sets and large no. of variables, I can't manually check if the labels are in order and was wondering if there could be a loop which would solve this. I would like to do this check before I append the data sets.

Thanks
