We are rapidly approaching the first pre-public test version of the new
analysis, but before getting to that stage.
From today v0.9.2.0 is released at the bottom of :
Http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php
Changes from last experimental version are:
* a unified and simplified option naming convention expected to be the
final choice
(many options are one or two letter only, not a long word, which
may be misspelled)
* You may set "mark for deletion" and "verified" at observation (record
level)
(and remove again) * Reorder ændrer ny på visuel struktur
* reorder command will also change the sequence in a saved file
* unification of the shortcuts and function. e.g. exit editor and exit
browser
* New reports: count by (variables, eg id visitdate) , validate double
entry files)
* The browser now shows observations marked for deletion or verification
* new functions to summarize numerical data: sum(..) and strings:
concat(..)
* frequency command can show confidence intervals
* common naming of result variables after running variables (try: list r)
* renamed set options and added some for default browser, colours etc.
(to see these, issue: set - or open editor and add set from edit menu)
* commands to alter the structure of projects. e.g. "un-relate" a
related project, append or merge whole projects or single datasets
within a given project.
* fix many minor bugs and error situations, which would give a strange
error.
* all errors are now shown regardless of setting of: set "echo" :=
"on/off"". They are only hidden if you issue the set "show error" :=
"off";
Notice that the commands.html and the "how to adapt your pgm"
references are found via the help menu in either the main analysis form
or the editor. But also that several browsers may be open .
Please test and report to this list or in case of severe problems send
an email to
info at epidata.dk
In particular test data management features and the ability of the
software to read all files created (rec, dta, epx, csv) . Save them
again after some data-management, e.g. summation or reordering, and see
in Manager or EntryClient that it actually worked.
Please do remember to work on copies of data. Real data should only be
used in production release versions for actual data-analysis or data
management
Work now continues with the table command and other issues, e.g. ability
to shift from txt to html output or simple encryption and decryption of
projects.
Notice that without the efforts from assisting other members of the list
we could not have made the software to the current level. In particular
thanks to Hans Rieder and Jamie Hockin for a lot of structured testing
and feed-back.
best wishes

Dear Jens
Can we have a user manual and podcast on the new analysis software?
Thanks

Dear Hans,Sub - Fonts and Background (Actual thread title should be file conversion from rec to epx and relating the files)Using Analysis for relating rec files is a good option.A PGM can easily save the updated rec files to epx files and relate also.I could save two related rec files to epx files.When I issued the Merge command,Read "D:\EpidataAnalysis0.9.0.0\FG\AgeSex2.epx";Merge FFNO !fn :="D:\EpidataAnalysis0.9.0.0\FG\FAMILY2.epx" !Table;Following error message was dislayed; ERROR: External lookup table dataset "ds1" has a non-unique key combinationPlease use the integrity tool to get a complete list of non-unique valuesWhat is this integrity tool and how to get a complete list of non-unique values using this tool?.......................................................The following command is also not working.edit var sex !valuelabel := label_sex !label :
= "Examinee's sex";What is the need to edit Label option before conversion to epx files?Dr. Shavinder

Today we will give out a new experimental test version, where the check
command (data integrity test) is very efficient, e.g. to find duplicates
in a file
check key v1 v2 v3;
will tell which observations are duplicate in the combination of v1 v2 v3
In the new version colour of fonts and background is also working.

Dear all users
We have released next experimental version for testing, which you may
find from the page: Http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php
Many issues have been fixed since the latest public test in early
december. A complete list is found at the bottom.
In particular we have fixed and quality assured the data integrity
command: check data, check key, check relate
But also many other issues, e.g. colour control. These lines will turn
output and command line into yellow on black background.
set "COMMANDLINE BG COLOUR"?? := "#000000";
set "COMMANDLINE FONT COLOUR" := "#FFF000";
set "OUTPUT BG COLOUR"??????? := "#000000";
set "OUTPUT FONT COLOUR"????? := "#FFF000";
Many other aspects have been fixed, e.g. search and replace in editor in
windows.
Next in line is the implementation of tables command and a few more
issues in relation to data-management, which will then be announced as a
pre-public version.
Please do some testing to
