[EB] Eurobarometer 10

[Joe Willey]

Fern,
Not completely sure of the answer as you did not supply the text of the warning
measure. But I don't think it's a problem.
The dual use of  codes is something that I have been railing about in ICPSR
data sets a lot recently. It can take up a lot of space, but the later
Euro-Barometers split EVERYTHING up by countries for which I'm thankful (ie a
question on media usage in the questionnaire will be translated to x number of
variables-one for each country the question was asked in).
You (and your user) just need to be sure that you only use this variable when
it is subsetted by country. Alternatively, recode it.
To pepeat, I doubt anything's wrong, but send me what spss warning message you
are getting and I can try to confirm that nothing's wrong.

Cheers. Joe
