Creating A Recode

Step 1: Create Recode Description

Step 2: Create New Response Labels

Step 3: Mapping Old Labels To New Labels

Step 4: Saving A Recode

This step will describe how to save recodes you have created. By default, recodes will last the length of your mTABwin session unless you save them.

Keep in mind that it is not necessary to save every recode created. If a recode is relatively small and non-complex, or something that you may only use once, you may not want to save it. This is much like using a speadsheet to create some temporary calculations. The worksheet is useful for the calculations made, but you would not necessarily want to save the sheet.

On the other hand, if a recode is large and complex, or is something you use on a regular basis, you would want to save the recode.
