No of character

26 Jul '10

Please, I seem to be having problem in the number of characters and number of values that EpiData takes in the value label. First, I discover that the program could not take more than 15 characters without space. Second, the number of values could not go beyond certain values. Does any body have a way round these challenges? I need your help please! Thank you.

Dear all, Actually, I am just starting to learn what UTF-8 is. But I did test epidata manager with a myanmar font which is widely used on the web. When I typed in Myanmar in epidata manager, many squares showed up and I understood nothing.

chinese version of epidata

Hi, I need to help colleagues with a data entry system for a questionnaire in chinese. I have downloaded the chinese version of epidata but it does not display chinese characters (lots of squiggles and things instead). Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to display chinese characters properly? This is with windows vista. Thanks.

Level 1 test release of EpiData Manager available
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Dear All We have reached level 1 functionality and users are kindly asked to challenge this on the uploaded exe files for Linux, Mac and Windows. Level descriptions are: EpiData Manager: level 0: proof of concept, first xml data file attempt (reached by January 2010) level 1: final xml structure. Basic functionality for one data file at a time. Create files by point and click and paste text onto data form level 2: Add further metadata - study description, version numbering, full documentation features - entry specification (mustenter, value labels, range etc) - multilanguage data file structures (questions) EpiData Entry Client: level 0: proof of concept, first saving and reading of data in the client. Limited support for data types - not all types supported. level 1: a All data types supported. b Added timed backup to secure data Backup of xml file to a zip file (e.g. Myproject_01July2010.zip) level 2: Support further controls - entry specification followed (mustenter, value labels, range etc) - multilanguage data file structures (questions) When level 2 is reached I estimate at least 50% and possibly 75% of all projects with data entry can be handled with respect to data definition and entry. During the coming time focus will be on developing the prototype (level 0) of a dedicated data entry client. Please discuss function in general of the released manager and the development plan on this list and report reproducible errors to the flyspray database The introduction document for the manager is placed on the testing page with exe files for the operating systems Linux, Mac and Windows. See http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you first start the application you will see two sections, which contain further definitions and guidance. Please notice that all development based on Freepascal and Lazarus. This is what allows for multiplatform release based on a common source code. See http://freepascal.org/ and http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Hi Caveman, If you are very familiar with Linux then please try to type "help convert" in the command prompt editor it should give the different options how to convert different types of files. EpiC operates similarly as Linux Command editor (although I am not an expert user of Linux, I did play with it while ago and don't think that you need EpiC for Linux Operating System). You could type "convert input.file output.file" in Linux cmd editor and see what happens hoping that you get there.

I do not know where to post this question: Is it possible to have the EpiC for Linux too? I really need a program to convert rec to mysql. If use epic I will pass it to DBF then dbf2mysql will do the rest. Thanks Caveman

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Dear Epidata List. A new version of the EpiData Manager have been placed on the testings page: http://epidata.dk/testing.php A great thanks to Jamie Hockin who identified a critical bug in to program, where project files could no longer be opened again. The new version is called 0.5.2.1 (R169) and should no longer contain this bug. With kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen. EpiData Association.

Thank you Rafael, Sorry I just managed to look at the URL attached file and used the Stat/Transfer to import it as SAS or Stata file and the output is in agreement of what you saw previously. However, I will try it again using EpiC and get back to you. Take care and get back to you on Tuesday or Wednesday when I can access the computer.
