Hi; I propose you this Edit controls for VAR1: VAR1 if VAR1 = 1 then hide VAR10 ELSE unhide VAR10 ENDIF END END In this case, var10 will be greyed, and no entry will be possible as soon as var1 is put to 1; the second if is necessary in case you decide, once VAR1 has been put to 1 to come back to it, and to put another value. If 'unhide' is not specified, Var10 would stay unusable. Dr DIBY JEAN-PAUL KONAN Médecin Santé Publique Resp.

Hi; Try the following: Edit controls for VAR1: VAR1 if VAR1 = 1 then hide VAR10 ENDIF if VAR1 <> 1 then unhide VAR10 ENDIF END END In this case, var10 will be greyed, and no entry will be possible as soon as var1 is put to 1; the second if is necessary in case you decide, once VAR1 has been put to 1 to come back to it, and to put another value. If 'unhide' is not specified, Var10 would stay unusable. What you did could not work: VAR10 can't be hidden once you are on it.

hidden values, but aggregate counts?
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

First, my thanks to Dirk for answering an earlier query of mine. Please forgive another question. For each record, I calculate a value at the bottom of the data entry form and determine if the respondent fits in group 1 or group 2. Is there any way to hide this group designation for the individual record (as in the value cannot be seen in the form), but still count the aggregate number of respondents fitting into group 1 or group 2? I consider using a temporary variable as a counter, but this raises complications if records are entered in separate batches or earlier records have their values modified. Thanks! Anthony

Double Entry Verification and several fields to match on

> [EpiData-list] verification question >>> [1] I would like to MATCH RECORDS by more than ONE FIELD when >>> preparing double entry verification - is this possible ? >>> [2] Once a file is verified, does the corrected data reside in the >>> *.REC or the *_dbl.REC file ? EpiData has two principles of validation: A. Compare two separate files entered independently. B. Compare at field level while entering data. Preparation of the two are both at the tool menu. A. Copy structure (of existing rec + chk file) B. Prepare Double Entry Verification Actual validation: A. Is done after all data have been entered. In the document menu you can "Validate Duplicate Files". When you specify the two files up to three fields can be used to match the two files. B. Is done while entering data the second time. You can only match on one field. The corrected data resides in the ..._dbl.rec file, which is the one you are adding data to. After point B you can run the two files with option A and get a record of how much was corrected while entering data the second time in ..._dbl.rec file. If you want to create a unique match while entering data on more than one field a typical way of doing so would be to create a key field like this: To do so, e.g. your matching fields are v1 v2 v3 in the check file: v1 mustenter end v2 mustenter end v3 mustenter after entry keyfield = string(v1)+" "+string(v2)+" "+string(v3) end keyfield noenter key unique end I am not sure how double entry would handle this, but make a test and see how it works. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Analysis build 36 released
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Analysis build 36 was just released for testing. at http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php Unless users report severe problems, the current build will be released as version 1.0 with some restrictions or removal of commands with problems, see below. Version 0.9 release 5 build 36 * Added or modified o A "select font" on first startup to guide the user for efficient setup of screen o Improved documentation of output formation o Table command can show categories defined as missing o New option controls if more than one instance of the programme can run o Aspects of handling missing value further implemented. o Parsing of strings changed to exclude trailing blanks: e.g "Lion " is the same as "Lion", but not the same as " Lion". o sorting of tables corrected o Tests of homegenity (interaction) in summary stratified 2x2 tables removed until final stable solution is found * Bugs fixed: o "Pointer error" in tables, graphs or describe fixed o Error in table estimates for 2x2 tables o Recnumber now returns number within current select o set listrec was not working Remaining known major issues to settle before v1.0 * Tables must be included in txt formatted log files Known major issues not settled or clarified * Relating files not tested fully * Appending in combination with records marked for deletion * Odds Ratios and RR in tables with Rare data (0 in cells) * Tests of homegenity (interaction) in summary stratified 2x2 tables removed until final stable solution is found Known issues not fixed (put on future list) * Correlate command results in "floating point error" when correlate cannot be calculated * Contents of strings should be converted to UPPER in logical statements to work. e.g. count if upper(v) = "TEST" * Setting format (set number format) is not consistent Kind regards Jens Lauritsen

match records by field help in verification

[1] I would like to MATCH RECORDS by more than ONE FIELD when preparing double entry verification - is this possible ? And if so, how do I do it ? [2] Once a file is verified, does the corrected data reside in the *.REC or the *_dbl.REC file ? Thank you.
