Epidata Manager & Entry client 1.4.2
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hello everybody, I'm working with the 1.4.2 Manager version since 1 week. I found some limitations to create a structure for a data base (it's the first one I do). For example, I can't put on a menu with options for every field near to the question visible in the Entry data version. So, I must choose between an up window or an information box, but I can't see both at the same time when the Entry data version ist running. Moreover, I don't know (or I don't find) how to inscript commands before document, and what are all the possible commands. Cause of this, finally I've began using the raw document (I opened the epx.file in a text processor like Notepad++ or gedit) and work in this way. But my problem now is that I don't know enough commands to use, and I don't find any internet document containing explanations about Epidata commands for the .epx files (only for old versions with checking mode). Someone can help me? Thanks in advance. Yolanda Hornero Ortega Research assistant Dpt. Anaesthesiology HUG Geneva (Switzerland)

Export to SPSS
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

In the latest release of EpiData, the SPSS export has one remaining problem, but the workaround is very simple. The xxxx.sps file should be edited in a plain text editor to correct the line beginning with FREE Here is what Epidata has in the xxxx.sps file: SET DECIMAL=dot. DATA LIST FILE = "/path/file.txt" ENCODING="UTF8" FREE {("|")} <---- this is the problem line RECORDS = 1 It should be SET DECIMAL=dot. DATA LIST FILE = "/Users/charlesknightsbridge/Data/BRFSS/brfss.2013-09-14.2.txt" ENCODING="UTF8" FREE ("|") <---- remove the braces RECORDS = 1 That is, remove { and } from the line that starts with FREE. That is change FREE {("|")} to FREE ("|") Oddly enough, if you use the open source software PSPP, you do not have to make this change, but it will work either way. Also take note that the delimiter used for the data file (xxxx.txt) is a vertical bar (|). If you might have a vertical bar inside a text field in Epidata, the import into SPSS or PSPP will fail. That would be a very unusual character to have in a text field anyway. Jamie

Automatic Unique Identifier and Double Entry Verification Mode
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Dear Jan and all Listers, I am sorry for not providing detailed information earlier. Well, I am using EpiData 3.1, and extract of the check file is provided at the end. I wished to do data validation using the Double Entry Verification mode, but when I used an automatically generated unique identifier for the records using three fields(district,school and student) it could not prompt for correction even when there was discordance. The key-field I selected *to prepare for double entry verification* was '* UNIQUE*'. However, when I selected key-field as '*STUDENT*' there was prompting for discordance. And yet student number alone may not uniquely identify records in the data set. What is the solution? DISTRICT COMMENT LEGAL USE label_district MUSTENTER REPEAT TYPE COMMENT END SCHOOL MUSTENTER REPEAT END SCHNAME MUSTENTER REPEAT END STUDENT RANGE 1 100 MUSTENTER AFTER ENTRY UNIQUE=DISTRICT+"-"+SCHOOL+"-"+STUDENT END END UNIQUE KEY UNIQUE NOENTER TYPE STATUSBAR "DIST-SCH-STD=" GREEN END GENDER LEGAL 1 2 END COMMENT LEGAL USE label_gender SHOW MUSTENTER TYPE COMMENT END AGE RANGE 10 50 MUSTENTER END M1 LEGAL 0 1 END MUSTENTER END M2 LEGAL 0 1 END MUSTENTER END Kizito.
