When I try to open a newly created .rec-file for data entry I receive the error message "list index out of bounds (9174)". What does this mean?

The Spanish Install file has been updated to remedy the error seen. A lacking subfolder has been added. The exe file is the same.

re: Freq on related tables
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

If I understand properly, the problem arises with related files. FileA - fields are district, x, y, z (one record per person, say 25 people) FileB - fields are district, a, b, c (one record per district, say 5 districts) To get freq of field a: read filea relate district fileb freq a This works, total of freqs (with missing) is 25. But of the files are read in the wrong order: read fileb relate district filea freq a This will not work - you get only total of 5 freqs, one for each district, because EpiData only matches the first record in FileA for each district. I think that Epi6 complained about doing the relate this way. If I have misunderstood the problem, perhaps provide more of the commands you are using. Si he entendido mal el problema, quizás proporcione más de los comandos que usted está utilizando.

Jumps reset
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Feb '06

15 Feb '06

Hi, I have a question about the jumps reset command. What I would like to do is based on the answers of 2 items in the questionnaire I would like to either keep entering data or fill the rest of the section with 7's. I know how to use one item jumps reset, but not how to do it for 2 items. I was thinking about creating a sum of the items and then if the sum equals a particular value either you keep going or fill. The two items added together would have a range of 2-6 and when it's 2 I would like to skip (fill) the section. However, my usage of EpiData up until now has been rather basic, so the programming for this is a little beyond me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello The final code is : AFTER FILE BACKUP "C:\formulaire\sauvegardes" ZIP form DATE EXECUTE "C:\formulaire\bin\EpiC.exe" "e SPS C:\formulaire\donnees\Registre.rec C:\formulaire\exportation_spss\Registre.sps REPLACE" NOWAIT EXECUTE "C:\formulaire\bin\EpiC.exe" "e SPS C:\formulaire\donnees\reponse_DT4.rec C:\formulaire\exportation_spss\reponse_DT4.sps REPLACE" NOWAIT EXECUTE "C:\formulaire\bin\EpiC.exe" "e SPS C:\formulaire\donnees\reponse_somatostatine.rec C:\formulaire\exportation_spss\reponse_somatostatine.sps REPLACE" NOWAIT EXECUTE "C:\formulaire\bin\EpiC.exe" "e SPS C:\formulaire\donnees\reponse_triac.rec C:\formulaire\exportation_spss\reponse_triac.sps REPLACE" NOWAIT EXECUTE "C:\formulaire\bin\EpiC.exe" "e SPS C:\formulaire\donnees\reponse_T3.rec C:\formulaire\exportation_spss\reponse_T3.sps REPLACE" NOWAIT EXECUTE "C:\formulaire\bin\EpiC.exe" "e SPS C:\formulaire\donnees\reponse_dopaminergique.rec C:\formulaire\exportation_spss\reponse_dopaminergique.sps REPLACE" NOWAIT END i don't know if "" are needed ( they were with EXPORT.exe binary file ), but it works well. With Export.exe, only one file is created, a .sps file with labels and data. With EpiC.exe, it's like epidata, datas are in a .txt file and labels with data emplacement in a .sps. I made a .sps called EXPORTATION.sps, wich is made with copies of all .sps files ( registre.sps, reponse_*.sps ), and then merge all these data with the numdos key and then create a registre_reponse.sav spss file. In fact, i only use new .txt files made "after file". In didn't found something to export only data to .txt in a sps-readable format. But it doesn't matter, all works. Thanks a lot for help and for EpiC.exe ( it came very just on time, as I had to give the form last friday ;) ). Jerome P.S : if someone want it, i can send the .sps file but it's not the right place here ;) 2006/2/9, epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca <epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca>: > 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..." > > > EpiData-list mailing list > ___________________________________ > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
