Greetings.
I was wondering if Command Line Processing is available. I noticed EpiC
'stuff'.
I was thinking something like EpiData <filename> for DataEntry in a BAT
file or through .MNU Or EpIDataStat.exe <filename.pgm> etc. Thinking
of a system which would be
MENU driven. Obviously, I haven't tried any of this. Has anyone else?
Thanks, kelly
Greetings. Thanks Tony. I use that solution frequently but
The DOS version. This would be nice, then we would have a
Package. HELLO Denis, it has been a long time, how are you?!
Stay safe, Kelly

I recently worked with Denis Columbier in Aceh, Indonesia. He had a
windows implementation of the old DOS EpiGlue front end. This was used
to make a menu interface to call EpiData, and run other
commands/programs. I don't think it's publicly available yet, but Denis,
if you are reading this can you fill us in?

I will be out of the office this afternoon Tuesday Feb. 22, 2005. I

A bug was reported last week which meant that for one particular file
the "marked for deletion" status in the Data Entry Form was not shown
correctly for that file, but correctly for all others.
The bug has been located and was due to a special circumstance rarely
happening (length of length of records was to be a multiplum of 78).
So if you have not had this problem there is no need to download the
latest build.
There is a problem though with "not up to date" versions and builds on
several servers around the world. This is not favourable, since the
latest builds fix things that could be wrong in old versions. If any
users know of downloads from other servers than www.epidata.dk please
notify info(a)epidata.dk
There is a solution for all of this servers to make sure the users gets
the latest builds - even though supplied from other servers than
www.epidata.dk
Kind regards

MISSINGVALUE is a new concept in Epi Info "language". The idea is to
define a certain value for indication of "unknown" or "irrelevant". When
exporting the data for analysis the values defined as such will be
marked as such when exporting to proper data analysis programs, such as
Stata, SPSS and SAS. Also when we have the full EpiData Analysis running
this will make use of the MISSING VALUE definitions.
In the help file for EpiData 3.1 you can read:
......
(in before file block):
MISSING VALUE V1-V4, V10, V20 9 8 7
(in the field block):
MISSING VALUE 9 8 7
....
The syntax there in the help file is misleading since the command is
MISSINGVALUE not "MISSING VALUE", so we will adapt the help file as soon
as possible.
So the problem is that we have managed to write the help file in a
misleading way - this will happen every so often
- clarifications or questions to the list is the way to proceed

Hello,
we´ve just started using Epidata and we´re really happy with it, but we also
do have a big problem with the MISSINGVALUE command, which we´re not able to
solve. It has already been mentioned in the archive in December, but the
answer to it didn´t really help us.
We´re trying to use different missing values for different variables (e.g. 9
8 and 99 88 and 999 888) in one file. But the checkfile commands keep on
disappearing, sometimes immediately, sometimes they work for some time and
disappear later. Sometimes they´re there in the checkfile, but do not work,
when we try to enter data.
I´ve already tried to partition my file and use the RELATE function, to make
sure the checkfile is not too long (they´re far less then 1000 lines now),
but the problem persists. The problem also occurs working with version 3.1
as well as with 3.02.
Would be great, if somebody could help us. Thank you in advance!

Hallo Nabil,
Thanks for your response.
Would you be able to indicate which website you were referring to for
downloading the spanish documentation for Epidata v. 3 (or higher).
I couldn't find the website identified in your message.
Thanks again!

It seems the longest acceptable line is 204 characters. You can create
and save longer lines using File,Open and choosing the checkfile, but
EpiData 3.1 would not interpret the rest of these long lines for me. You
can always break a formula down into smaller lines. Shorter lines are
also better for documenting your calculations.
e.g.
f1 = a + b + c + d
f1 = f1 + e + f + g
