Update of most recent public version of Analysis (due to error in the editor)

by EpiData development and support

Dear All Unfortunately there was an undisclosed bug in the public version released last week of new Analysis. One could exit Analysis without being asked to save an unsaved pgm file in the editor. This is now fixed. The most recent public version is therefore: _Manager_ *v4.6.0.2* _EntryClient_ *v4.6.0.2* _Analysis_ *v3.0.0.1* And the combined one for Windows: setup.all-in-one.4.6.0.5.exe The lacking finding of the error has been added to the pre-test for coming analysis. best wishes and apologies.

SPSS Export

by EpiData development and support

Dear Torsten, dear Jens, Epidata-Manager does the SPSS-Export in a indirect way. A SPSS-Syntax-File and a CSV-Data-File are created. You have to run the Syntax in SPSS to create a SPSS-Datafile. This is the current proceeding. For this proceeding I have some questions: - Is it very hard to create a SPSS-Datafile at once? - Why is the SPSS-CSV-Data-Export-File different to a direct CSV-Data-Export-File? The Structure is different. In my opinion it will be easier and a clear way to have ONE (adjustible) CSV-Data-Export-File. For that I recommend to replace the second Tab in " Tools/Export.../Type: SPSS 'SPSS-Options' " with the 'CSV-Options' (except for "Export Value Labels" because this is a great advantage of EpiData! Perhaps this Item stands better one the first Tab.) - Is it possible to change the default given SPSS-Syntax? The "Data List"-Command still works, but it is a little bit out of date. It does not work with the qualifier for Textvariables. So you have to edit the csv-File or have to write a new Syntax. "GET DATA" is the current Command. With kind regards Michael

Epidata 3.1 - Not Showing Correct Date

by EpiData development and support

Good morning. I received a ticket from one of our Epidata users. The user is using Epidata 3.1. According to her, the data entry sheets usually self-populate with the correct date. However, it seems to be stuck on 20/04/2020. Please see attached. Troubleshooting done: 1. Clear personalization and profile. 2. Re-install the software. Info: 1. There are 2 users of Epidata in this department. The 2 of them are experiencing this. 2. They are using VDI pool to access Epidata. What do you think is the problem and how it can be resolved. Thank you.
