Hello, I use version 2.2.2.178 and version 2.2.2.182 Epidata Analysis For the 178, an old version, the EpiData Analysis Command and Function Reference Guide is Document version 1.1 and is OK. For the 182, the more recent version, it is help document version 0.42 with partial french language, but the comments seem obsolete : commands EPITABLES, not LIFETABLE, "Tables" with too short text.... Thank you for your reply. Bernard BRANGER 9 bis, rue Gabriel LUNEAU 44000 NANTES France Tél 02 40 73 13 32 Mobile 06 32 70 33 80 Mail : branger-bono(a)wanadoo.fr

jumps does not work with boolean
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hi What I want to do: make a jump if 0 is entered in the boolean field. My problem: It does not jump. If I have specified "0" (or "1") as the criterium for jumping, then it does not make the jump. It is not possible to set n,N,y,Y as criterium for jumping. What I can do: Jumps for integers works fine. I'm using EpiData 1.4.4.4 I hope you're can help me here. Sincerely Bue Meier

Hello, In Manager, I do not understand the calculation of variables. I have a file with "birth date" and "date delivery" and "age" for the difference. and "weight" "size" and "BMI". When I click on the variable "Age" / edit / calculate, I can not find the variable "Age" for calculate the difference between two dates, but I see "BMI". On the other hand, on the variable "BMI" / edit / calculate, I do not find "BMI" but "Age" ..... Thank you for helping me. -- Bernard BRANGER 9 bis, rue Gabriel LUNEAU 44000 NANTES - France Tél 02 40 73 13 32 Mobile 06 32 70 33 80 Mail : branger-bono(a)wanadoo.fr

New experimental version of EpiData Manager and EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

A new experimental test version is available from http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php ----------------- Warning: Experimental versions create epx project files, which cannot be used in the public download version and cannot be read by EpiData Analysis. It is therefore crucial that you separate the testing of future functionality from everyday production use. It is also crucial that you accept that we cannot guarantee function in experimental versions, which allow usage in real projects. -------------------- Until today on the testing.php page an experimental version was placed with partial function of scripting as part of the epx definitions. The scripting function will be included in the development over the next months with other new features, which will be tested in a sequential order. The version avaialable from today has two new features: a. the ability of using value labels in an external project file, e.g. the whole ICD10 diagnosis list. b. The ability of creating value labels by importing data residing in a datafile, which can be any file type supported in current import. To use this get the experimental version from the indicated page and MAKE sure to install in a folder away from the public download version The sequence for using external labels could be: a. import data from an external source into a value label set. Menu->tools->Value labels from data b. save the project having these new labels. c. in another project open the value label editor (alt+v) and add as external labels a reference to the project which you created in a+b. You may now use the project in the EntryClient (which MUST also be the experimental version). Notice that the project containing the data and the "external label" project file must reside in the same folder. regards Torsten Christiansen Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association, Denmark
