[EB] Eurobarometer 10

[Bennett, Fern]

Joe,
The warning message was that the value labels command specifies a given
value more that once.  I have
also gotten the same warning on Euro-barometer 12 (ICPSR 7778).  Thanks for
your help.

	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
