Updated experimental test version of relational datasets (Manager and EntryClient 2.0.0.0)
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

On Oct. 9th. we announced release of an experimental test version capable of creating relational structures. See: http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2014q4/002546.html The following major bugs have been fixed and new versions are available: Updated versions are placed for download on http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php Manager: 1. Reports were not saved correctly as txt or html 2. Value labels could not be edited 3. Export had malfunction EntryClient: Would not propagate correctly the key from one level to the next in some instances. Please test and verify function in as well simple and complex situations. Please notice that version is still - in this upload - 2.0.0.0, but creation date is Oct 22nd., It is a good idea to use a particular ini file and recent file saving, when you are testing. To do this you add parameters/options to the start. To see the options you can run from a terminal, epidatamanager -h entryclient -h which will give the explanation, e.g. for configurations files: -i=mytest.cfg recent file list: -r=testfiles.txt regards Torsten Bonde Christiansen and Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association To verify correct version: "Copy version Info" found in the help menu and check: Manager: Program version: 2.0.0.0[RC2] r1010 EntryClient: Program version: 2.0.0.0[RC2] r411 Both of them: Core version: 2.0.0.0 r1080

Condensing several Y/N results into one table
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Dear list, I try to condense the frequency of several yes/no variables into one table: In a patient file I register 12 specific procedures, where each patient get a variable number of "yes" i.e. Intravenous antibiotics N % Y 126 27.8 . 328 72.2 Total 454 100.0 Pain relief N % Y 113 24.9 . 341 75.1 Total 454 100.0 etc I want to transform the result into: Treatment summary N % Intravenous antibiotics 126 27.8 Pain relief 113 24.9 etc Total 454 100.0 In the old Epi Info v6 this was relatively simple via the REPORT command, where a template .RPT file could pick specific values from tablecells across several variables. I can copy and paste values from individual tables into a spreadsheet, but it would obviosly be more user-friendly to a routine user to be able to present the result in EpiData.directly. Any suggestions? Best regards, Vegard Hogli CMO, Skien, Norway

New test release of Manager and EntryClient (v2....)
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Dear all Following a remarkable effort in many areas it is now possible to download experimental versions 2 of Epidata Manager and EntryClient from the page: http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha The overall new aspect is: relational databases This is also explained in the introduction document, which you find here: http://epidata.dk/php/downloadc.php?file=epidatamanagerintro.pdf We have worked a bit to further secure immediate transparency of function. In practice it seems that users are NOT reading manuals, so intuitive function is important, Suggestions to enhance intuitive function are welcomed. For projects with only one single dataform the main change will be new icons and hopefully more stability, since we have removed a number of bugs. Another new aspect is that study information is placed at the front. This is to enhance datadocumentation levels in projects. It is NOT necessary to complete the study information to define data. So if you are not interested in that part just skip it. When you create a new project an instruction is given on screen with a sequence for developing relational data. Be aware that these versions are still in the early testing phase. Which means that you should NOT use them for ongoing projects, and also that you should use them with new projects only. If you have generated relational databases with a previous testversion, then do not continue on that project. What we need - optimally during the coming week - is feedback on: - function, - access violations, - stability in EntryClient - stability in documentation - whether EntryClient creates correct datacontent based on the tree structure of relational databases. It is a rather complex system now, so please be patient and report, such that we can get to a stable level of function soon. We will summarise reports in about 10 days following a well deserved break in development. Following clarification of these issues we will release another test build, and once all problems are solved or fixed in a stable way the first public v2.0 will be released. If you have longer test files and explanations that you wish to send us and not to the list, then use info at epidata.dk for such mails - disregard the warning sent to you, we will read it. regards Jens Lauritsen Epidata Association

Hi Walter, You could create a count of the number of records per unique individual and then select the first record: Sort idunique visitdate gen i count = 1 Var Name count of type Integer and length: 9 decimals 0 if idunique = idunique[_n-1] then count= count[_n-1] + 1 count= count[_n-1] + 1 the [_n] indicates recnumber and by subtracting one "_n-1" we get the previous record select if count=1 Hope this helps, Renate -----Original Message----- From: epidata-list-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca [mailto:epidata-list-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca] On Behalf Of epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 1:01 PM To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 130, Issue 7 Send EpiData-list mailing list submissions to epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca You can reach the person managing the list at epidata-list-owner(a)lists.umanitoba.ca When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of EpiData-list digest..."

Dear Epidata users I am facing a problem transferring a field value from a parent file to a child file. In the parent file I have initial SRQ (srqinit) and I want the same value to appear in the chiled file. I did the following: In the parent file before file Define Gsrqinit ## Global srqinit MUSTENTER AFTER ENTRY LET Gsrqinit=srqinit END END In the child file BEFORE RECORD srqinit=varsrqinit END However, this doesn't seem to work. Your help will be most appreciated. Mohammed -- *---------------------------------------------------------*
