EpiData Analysis - difference error and information

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

As a follow up on the question reported to the list (in Spanish) I agree we should change: EpiData Analysis, such that error: if syntax of a given command is insufficient or erroneous examples: wrong variable name trying to read data without close information: all situations where an "expected" result did not happen, examples: no data in a variable name of file just read trying to drop variable which does not exist Report comments or situations , where the rule was not applied (once implemented) Another issue is translation. This will start for analysis. And also a translation tool will be developed Regards and happy new year to all. Thanks for support and comments over the previous year.

problema con epidata analisis

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Buenas tardes. manejando el programa de epidata análisis, tengo unas rutinas pgm para correr reportes pero cuando el programa llega a una linea donde se saca cualquier tipo de analisis como una frecuencia simple, y no hay datos en la variable a analizas (en las encuestas digitadas esta variable no tiene ningún dato) el reporte marca un error de "no data present" y aborta el resto del reporte, por lo tanto no sigue ejecutando el resto de ordenes del pgm. alguien me podría ayudar para que cuando realizando estos análisis el programa siga asi no hallan datos corriendo el pgm como si lo hacia epi 6.4D. Agradeciendo la atención a la presente.

It allow you to build menu in order to construct little application based on Epidata/Analysis/Epic Winglue use a syntax very close to Epiglue syntax and allow to use VB script in the .mnu file. It's completely freeware and you can dowload it at www.epiconcept.fr/fichiers/winglue/winglue.zip " Help file for winglue is included. You can find more help by downloading the english VBscript manual : http://infopathdev.com/downloads/free/default.aspx or go to online help : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/h… Gilles Desve epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca a écrit : > When I earlier used EpiInfo, I could design menu systems for the users in a > study.

Menu systems in EpiData

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Regarding the issue of menu systems I think the suggestion to explore the "Winglue Menuing system" is a good one. In Epidata Analysis a number of possibilities have been built in. With the next few months I expect to upload a short instruction in using these and will notify the list accordingly. The remainder of this text is highly technical and users without insight in html language should be warned at this point. The experienced user can do some experimentation with the following aspects a b c d : a. Look into the html code of the start.htm, the startfont.htm files found where EpiData Analysis was installed. Here you will e.g. see the following lines: <li>When you like the size: Click on the number to save your choice <br> <ul> <li> <A HREF='epi:cls;set echo=off;define fn __________________________ global;fn= "@sysdir";cd "@fn";copyfile "epidatastat.ini" "epidatastat.old" /replace;copyfile "epidatastat.10" "epidatastat.ini" /replace;set viewer font size=10;set echo=on;view "Start.htm"'>size=10</a>   The special features which can be used for definition of menu systems are: <A HREF='epi: ........'>size=10</a> meaning a non-standard html tag, with which the analysis system can run commands. And the only thing the user sees is the part "size=10". The remaining parts are standard analysis commands separated by ";". b. look at the SET commands Issue the command "set" and you will among other things see: . set DISPLAY COMMAND HISTORY OFF DISPLAY COMMAND PROMPT ON etc for COMMANDTREE ,DATABROWSER , MAINMENU, TOOLBAR , variables and woktoolbar. With a combination of creating your own html code with menu's and using these sets, the whole analysis programme can becomme a menu shell . (e.g. when all the display ...... are set to off). c. A simple example: c1 create a startfile, e.g. project.htm containing header etc and the two lines: - <a href="epidata.exe myfile.rec">Enter data in myfile</a> - <a href='epi: read myfile /close; cls; boxplot age; type "See my boxplot" /h3; printviewer; type "Menu: F8";'>See a box plot</a> c2 edit the ini file for epidatastat.ini to set all display "sets" to off. c3 add a line: set START PAGE =project.htm then when you start epidatastat.exe the project.htm file will be the new startfile, just containing the two lines. With knowledge of the html principles you can add tables, background pictures etc. d. look at the technical documentation available at www.epidata.dk/documentation.php regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Size of surveys epidata can handle

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Does epidata have a limit on the numbers of questions, or lines of text that a survey can be made up of?
