Dear all
A new test build version of the EpiData Manager has been placed for
download on
http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php
The latest changes in Manager are:
a.
The value label editor has been completely rewritten.
Including the way the editor is started. It now much resembles the
entry principle. If you press the + button on the field property form,
then a single value label for the current field is created or edited. If
you wish to edit value labels in general use the manage button or the
menu - tools.
b. Export to stata of epz files is now possible. Formerly only epx files
could be exported
c. Pasting "as", e.g. as integer would create field names, that could
not be read into analysis. This is fixed.
The changes above to manager (a) unfortunately means that we will have
to exclude the windows 64 bit version for a while. After december 1st we
will see if we can add that version again. However this should pose no
problem to anyone just now, since windows 64 bit pc's can use the 32 bit
windows version.
Regarding current EpiData EntryClient:
It turns out that the default colour setting for the entry field is not
very good in some windows installations. As soon as you have installed
(unzipped) the entry client please make sure to change the colours to
something you can see appropriately. This is done under "edit" and settings.
With the mentioned changes to Manager we are quite close to release as
v1. If someone can assist on finetuning icons let us know.
regards

Hello,
I am starting out with Epidata Analysis so this might be a very basic
question.
I tried to run a very lengthy script (over 800,000 lines of commands)
and it went about 3/4 through when I got the following error message (I
had left the program open overnight to let it run):
"PGM Error:
Out of memory"
What "memory" is it referring to? How can I fix this?
Thank you very much for any help!

Hi
I receive the following error with the CHK file coding that follows:
CHECK MOUS >= MOUSTR
cannot apply opGTE to missing operands
And here's the coding:
CONSISTENCYBLOCK
CHECK "impossible # treated nets" MOUS >= MOUSTR
CHECK "impossible # children sleeping under nets" ENFANTS >= DORMI
END
I cannot figure out why this is. MOUS, MOUSTR, ENFANTS and DORMI are
all names for numerical variables in the REC file. Any assistance
(however obvious) would be helpful.
Thank you,
Ruwan

Thank you Jens. It worked perfectly with minor change, as I was looking for
EntryClient as below,
DateAIDS
AFTER ENTRY
DateAIDS=DateDiag1
IF (DateDiag2 < DateAIDS) THEN
DateAIDS=DateDiag2
ENDIF
IF (DateDiag3 < DateAIDS) THEN
DateAIDS=DateDiag3
ENDIF
IF (DateDiag4 < DateAIDS) THEN
DateAIDS=DateDiag4
ENDIF
IF (DateDiag5 < DateAIDS) THEN
DateAIDS=DateDiag5
ENDIF
IF (DateDiag6 < DateAIDS) THEN
DateAIDS=DateDiag6
ENDIF
IF (DateDiag7 < DateAIDS) THEN
DateAIDS=DateDiag7
ENDIF
END
END
I tested, works just fine. THANK YOU!!!

Dear Forum Members,
I was looking a way to select earliest date from multiple date fields.
Example,
Five date fields with dates as below,
DateA - 13/01/2002
DateB - *13/01/2001*
DateC - 13/01/2002
DateE - 13/01/2003
DateF - 13/01/2004
So, the programming to select earliest date (13/01/2001) in the field called
"DateDiagnosis"
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to combine AND and OR into a single IF statement. If so,
how? I have variables for the number of cups of tea consumed per
day/week/month. The 3 variables are teapd, teapwk and teapmth. Only one
of these should be filled in. -1 is the missing code and a value>0
indicates the number of cups consumed.
I tried the following:
BEFORE ENTRY
IF ((teapd>0) AND (teapwk>0)) OR ((teapd>0) AND (teapmth>0)) OR
((teapwk>0) AND (teapmth>0)) THEN
HELP "Only one of tea per day/week/month should have contain the
number of cups" TYPE=ERROR
ENDIF
END
This works for the paring of teapd and teapwk, but not the other
parings, i.e. the "if" condition seems to stop at the first OR. A way
around it is to split this into 3 statements (see below), but I suspect
there may be a more elegant way to do what I want.
BEFORE ENTRY
IF (teapd>0) AND (teapwk>0) THEN
HELP "Only one of tea per day/week/month should have contain the
number of cups" TYPE=ERROR
ENDIF
END
BEFORE ENTRY
IF (teapd>0) AND (teapmth>0) THEN
HELP "Only one of tea per day/week/month should have contain the
number of cups" TYPE=ERROR
ENDIF
END
BEFORE ENTRY
IF (teapwk>0) AND (teapmth>0) THEN
HELP "Only one of tea per day/week/month should have contain the
number of cups" TYPE=ERROR
ENDIF
END

Dear list.
Due to a significant bug in EpiData Manager we have release a new
updated version of the program.
The bug allowed a user to overwrite an existing project file
(.epx/.epz), by using "Save As...",
but without being warned that the file would be overwritten.
This bug only affects the MAC version of EpiData Manager.
Kind regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen
EpiData Association.
