value labels list in Add/Revise checks

Dear Epidata listers I am new to Epidata, my query is this: In Add/Revise checks, the list box lists only the first (alphabetically) five value labels, and [none]. I can't scroll in this list to select from the other value labels. How do I select other value labels?

EpiData Analysis v1.1 (problems with prevention of several instances in Win98)
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

It was reported that the new mechanism of preventing several instances running of analysis at the same time gives problems in windows 98. After telling that "another instance is running" the computer clogged and had to be rebooted. If other users experience this please report to the list. As an alternative I created an install routine which tests for windows version and have sent that one to the user with the problem. We might have to reverse the principle, such that at all installations (xp, 2000 and over) a file rundouble.ini is placed with the exe file by the default installation. If users want to run more than one instance they can delete the file or avoid the installation of that file by selecting "user specified installation" and unmark the option to install this. More news in a few days. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

New build of EpiData Entry and advancements on Analysis and a new help window
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

The reported problems of EpiData Entry when verifying double entry has been solved. The problem was that when the file to compare with was missing, then a mysterious error message was given. The principle has now been changed such that if the comparison file is not existing, then the verify procedure stops completely. The path information in the ...dbc file is no longer placed there. Therefore if the user wishes to compare to a first entry file residing in a different folder than where the ...dbl.rec file resides, then manually edit the ....dbc file. Analysis is advancing A lot of work has been put into finding a managable help file structure, which also accomodates translation. If you see on the http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php page, you will see that there is now a partial translation to Spanish and the English version. Some issues of always showing the correct file is still lacking, but is expected to be fixed within a few weeks. The test versions are placed on: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php The upgraded EpiData Entry (build 18dec2005) is on the http://www.epidata.dk/download.php Version information for entry: http://www.epidata.dk/revision.htm analysis: http://www.epidata.dk/versioninfo.htm Kind regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

RE: [EpiData-list] Date variable
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

It's more simple to to it step by step: 1- Your qes file has to contain a variable (string, length = 4. I call it YV1)) to store the year of the date entered in V1. 2- In the chk file, edit checkblock for V1, and add the line: YV1 = year(V1) 3- Then, it is possible to enter the check lines that will calculate the categories: If YV1 = "xxx" then CATEGORY = "xxx" Endif If YV1 = "yyy" then CATEGORY = "yyy" Endif (...) End (assuming there is a variable called Category!) That's it. It's better (although you can do without) to add NOENTER to YV1 checkblock, so that it will be impossible to enter another value by accident.

I wish to create a new variable with categories based upon different years within the original variable and I have tried copying the examples provided in the help section, but I'm not having any luck. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kate
