Hi everybody,
I would like to have a two-line warning box. I saw that I need to add "/n" but this does not work.Here my syntax:
armcirc
MUSTENTER
BEFORE ENTRY
HELP "Mesurez le périmètre à mi-distance/n entre le rebord postérieur de l’acromion et le sommet de l’olécrane"
END
END
I would appreciate if someone can help me.
Sophie.
Dear Hans,
Thank you for your reply but I also saw this mistakes.

Dear Sophie:
You cannot have "BEFORE ENTRY" in a "NOENTER" field because no command
in that field can ever be executed.
Better choose an "AFTER ENTRY" block in the field in which you added the
last component that is needed to calculate the age, i.e., in the field DoB.
To this end you may try:
Your QES file:
age ##.#
recdate <Today-dmy>
dob <dd/mm/yyyy>
other _
Your CHK file:
age
NOENTER
END
dob
MUSTENTER
AFTER ENTRY
age=(recdate-dob)/365.25
END
END
Regards,
Hans

Subject: [EpiData-list] How to calculate age
Hello everybody,
I am trying to write a syntax in .chk file to automatically calculate age during the data entry from the today's date and the DoB.The syntax is :
" ddn
MUSTENTER
END
age
NOENTER
BEFORE ENTRY
let age=(round(int((date-ddn)/(365.25))))
END
END"
The variables are coded in the .qes file as follows:
{DATE} automatique <Today-dmy>{DDN} DATE DE NAISSANCE (DATE OF BIRTH) <dd/mm/yyyy>{AGE} automatique ###
What's wrong with my syntax?
Sincerely hope you can help me.

Sophie PilleronPhD student.

You cannot have a field named DATE because that is the name of a function.
EpiData doesn't complain when you do this, but you cannot use any function names as field names.

HI,
I attend college in CA and my professor insists that I use Epidata for our
quantitative analysis. I am taking a research tools class. Everyone with
Windows was able to download Epidate, except me, the only Mac user.
Actually, it downloaded or appears to have downloaded, but I am not able to
open it up. When I try to open it up, it looks lke a corrupt document. It's
not acting independently as a software program. I appreciate your help and
aide.
Sincerely,
Mic
