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

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

epidata in linux
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

I'm sure this has been asked before, and on the website all I can find is "tests on linux ongoing using wine emulator". Any further details? A mini-howto on how to give it a try, problems, plans, whatever? I've also not found much on "epi6 (enter as in enter.exe) on Linux". Some people have tried it with dosemu and possibly dosbox but, again, I haven't been able to find information on how to do it. (I've tried it myself with some problems with the cursor and how the epi604es.exe uncompresses itself onto c:\, not creating \epi6 or \netss.) I don't know what finally happened to the idea of CDC releasing (as public domain or free-software of whatever flavour) whatever portions of Enter.exe they can release. I think there was a problem with some un-releasable libraries or something like it. Is that the same case with EpiData? In time, what I'd really like to see is something as good (simple to use, flexible, and powerful) as EpiData on Linux. I don't know how far we are from that, if help could be looked for or organised somehow, or whatever. I have written an epi6.py so as to READ, SELECT, FREQ, TABLES (2 dimensions), SUMFREQ and SUMTABLES (well, sort of) from a Python script. Of course some knowledgable experts will do it using R, but I'd like my scripts to be as cross-platform as Python itself. I haven't made it public (for lack of expertise on how to do such a thing) but it's available for anyone who wants it. I've looked into other tools for creating questionnaires, and there's this OIO project using Zope, but that's overkill for small outbreaks and simple (as in simple data) research. Epi6 and EpiData are simple excelent tools in my opinion. Thing is, I don't like to be dependant on any one operating system if I can avoid it. Thanks for the great program. I know one shouldn't ask for more unless one is ready to offer one's own effort.
