revise .REC file with changed vars from
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Oct '04

Dear Katie, Please do the following: 1. Goto File -> Options -> Choose tab titled "Create Data File" and Select the redio button "Automatic Field Names" 2. Make your .QES file with appropriate labels Like Variable One is Auto ID: <AutoID> Two is Text: <AAAAAAAAAAAAA> And So on and on: ###.## 3. Once you are satisfied with the alignmen and all, mark the variable names with braces within the labels, without changing anything in the resulting alignment alignment like: {Var}iable One is Auto {ID}: <AutoID> {T}wo is {T}ext: <AAAAAAAAAAAAA> And {So on} and on: ###.## 4. Save the .QES file, go to "make data file" and follow through. The names would be "varid", "tt" and "soon". Any further changes will not affect the names so long as the text withing braces stays the same. Good Luck Gillani

revise .REC file with changed vars from revised .QES file
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 07 Oct '04

I was hoping someone could help me with this... After creating a .QES file, I made a .REC data file and renamed all of my variables using the option in the Tools menu. I did this so that I wouldn't need to display variable names on the form. I had to go back and make a minor revision to the .QES file. When I revised my data file from the revised .QES file, all of my variables logically changed back to their original names. Is there any way around this? Thanks, Katie

How to repeat a field
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Dear EpiData users. I have a small problem with EpiData which I was hoping someone had the answer for? Setup: I have two tables of data which are related to each other. In the primary data table (stamdata) I have a variable which I want to repeat in the related data table (spørgeskemaer). I have seen on EpiData's homepage that this is a feature EpiData can handle, however, I do not know how to set it up? Can anyone help? Many thanks. Henrik. _____________________________________ Henrik Lauridsen Studieadjunkt, Ph.d.-studerende Institut for Idræt og Biomekanik Syddansk Universitet Campusvej 55 5230 Odense M Tlf. 65 50 34 87
