iPad, Android

Dear all, I just changed from the legacy Epidata to Epidata manager. It took a while to get used to the new philosophy, but I find it more easy to use compared to the legacy version. And I see clearly more development in this aspect. My question is whether you will develop iPad or Android versions of the programme. Initially it should be for the Epidata Client only, since by using tablet computers you could remove the need for purely data-entry staff. Regards from Kabul, Aiso Vos

Help with export using Epidata Project
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 May '12

Good day! I'm totally new to Epidata and would like to ask help on exporting data entered using v1.1. When I explored Epidata Manager, there is an exporting option but only stata. Our requirement is to export to notepad. I've been searching all over for answers but I'm really having a hard time to know how this may be done using v1.1. Thanks in advance. Regards, Paulo

Are there any records in your rec file that are marked for deletion? I had EpiData Analysis stall on me when it tried to read a rec file with a deleted record. I used the 'pack file' function in EpiData to get rid of the records that were marked for deletion. After that it worked fine. I suppose you could also undelete these marked records, but then they will show up in your analysis. Rod

merging of files
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 03 May '12

Hi there, I am in the process of merging files in EpiData Analysis. I am looking for syntax that would allow me to keep all the records in the file not just the records that are in common in file1 (individual information) and file2 (visit information). File 2 contains only information of those that are already included in File1. For example, file1 has a 100 records and file2 has 10. One person has 5 visits and 5 others have one record. The merged file ideally includes all records from file1 and file2 (104 records). I have tried several options and failed as there are duplicate ID's. Example: close logclose read "C:\file1.rec" merge id /file="C: \file2.rec" /table savedata "C:\file3.rec " /replace I am looking forward to hear how I can resolve this issue. Thanks, Renate

Comment Legal and Type Comment commands + One bug in EntryClient v1.1
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Dear Jens, I want to bring to your kind attention the following matter. Comment Legal and Type Comment commands in the Epidata Entry preserved the 40 charaters lengh (continued from EPI6 DOS era) of Type Comment varible to recive the seleted lables. However with Manager v1.1, EntryClient v1.1, this limitation should be removed. In this era of large LCD monitors, it should be possible to have longer (possibly 100 or more characters) Type Comment varibles to accomodate longer lables such as ICD 10 codes. Is it possible One Bug – in the EntryClient v1.1, when programme settings dialog box is opened and necessary changes made, the EntryClient hangs and programme requires termination with Ctrl-Alt-Del. I have tested it on diffrerent PCs (Win XP). Thanks for the new Epidata Analysis. With regards, Dr. Shavinder Singh
