How to calculate age

Dear Hans, Thank you for your reply but I also saw this mistakes. Many thanks. --Pièce jointe du message transmise-- From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 19:24:19 +0200Envoyer Subject: Re: [EpiData-list] How to calculate age 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 On 20:59, epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca wrote: > 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=ound(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. > Regards, > Sophie PilleronPhD student. > -- Hans L Rieder, MD, MPH Jetzikofenstr 12 3038 Kirchlindach Switzerland Tel: +41 31 829 4577 Mob: +41 79 321 9122 Web: http://www.tbrieder.org --Pièce jointe du message transmise-- From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 20:04:14 +0200 Subject: [EpiData-list] How to calculate age Many thanks Jamie.

problems downloading to Mac OS X 10.6.8
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Oct '11

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

new manager ready on epidata.dk/testing.php
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

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 Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Error message "out of memory"
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

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!
