I have done what P. Dalgaard has suggested and I don't find a
descrepancy between the number of values and the number of labels: there
15 each...
Any hint on what might go wrong here ?
Here is the output
The SAS format from proc contents
VISITF
. = INEXTXT
-10 = Visit 1 [Screening]
0 = Visit 2 [Baseline]
1 = CRF Tracking
6 = Visit 6
7 = Tel.Contact (day 7)
14 = Visit 3
21 = Tel.Contact (day 21)
28 = Visit 4
35 = Tel.Contact (day 35)
43 = Visit 5 [EOT]
65 = Visit 6 [Follow-up]
777 = End of Study
888 = Concomitant Med.
999 = Adverse Events
the cat output with sep=" * " (manual CR edit due to line length)
