	| Thanks very much, Miriam:  I understand your constraints and I am looking forward to your next release. 
 But I have a question about the appending process.
 
 When I append multiple rounds/surveys, all my value labels are messed up. For example, the "region" variable seemed to include only the value labels from the last data appended. So, if country A has regions 1 2 3, and country B has regions 3 4 5, I would expect the appended data to include all 6 regions. But in my case, only regions 3 4 5 are populated.
 
 Do you have any hints, strategies to synchronize the value labels, given your experience?
 
 Than, Yawo
