Travel Activities and Motivation Survey 2006

Question

We would like to ask about a data issue with the TAMS 2006/EAPV 2006. The command
files in French and English declare the following:

VALUE LABELS </E07_Q01> 7

Should we go ahead and re-run the command file omitting the 7? Please note, the data file itself contains no values of 7 for this variable as per the screen shot from <http://www62.stat can.ca/webview/>



Answer

We consulted the TAMS Codebook and there is no value label 7. In order to remain consistent with the codebook, I would remove the value. It seems to be an error in the syntax provided.
