Thank you for your response.
Example with my own file.
.freq castem;
castem
-----------
N
-----------
1 153
2 150
3 632

Total 935
-----------
.select castem<>3 do;
Selecting, please wait...
(303 of 935 selected)
.begin; ==> No operative (idem begin without <
; >)
ERROR: Line 1: Syntax error at pos 7:
ERROR: Unexpected end of line!
Perhaps a ";" is missing?
.freq castem; ==> no selection...

.select castem=1 do drop data; ==> objective : keep codage 1

.freq castem; ==> Selection code<> 1 (link avec drop data ?)

And an another (and last) question : how to delete the current selection?
Thank you.

Hello,
For training, I'm trying to understand the new version of "Analysis".
A few comments :
- The command "freq var ! r;" (as shown in the guide) doesn't work, but
"freq var ! pr" is OK.
Strictly speaking and on the educational plan, the percentages presented
with "freq" are in columns : "freq var ! c;" or "freq var ! pc;" would be
more logical.
- To select a part of the file, I noted, (as an example for a frequency) the
command "select (var1 <3) do freq var2 ! pr;".
Should we repeat with each command "select (var1 <3) do"?
Is there a way, like the old "select", to select part of the file for
further commands?
- The command (example) "select (var1 = 3) do var1: = 2;" is quite
complicated compared to that "if ... then ...."
- How to create a new numeric variable with 3 digits and 2 decimal places?
As in the old "define var ###. ##"?
- When will the "regress" commands and the graph commands (including scatter
with a regression line as in the old "Epi-Info" ...?
Thank you for your help.

Happy (belated) New Year 2021 Dear Jens and Epidata Team,
There is absolute silence on the list. I hope Covid 19 impact is waning away and New Epidata Analysis development is in progress. Any news!!

Dear Michael,
thank you for this hint! That makes things much easier. If someone
nevertheless needs it, I attach a spss syntax, that produces a list of
string variables in the datafile and than deletes all leading and ending
quotation marks (the first and the last character) in these string
variables. It can be included in the spss import syntax.
Best Regards,
Juergen

Dear all,
I have a little problem with the SPSS-Export of the Epidata-Files. When
you export string variables, you can specify the variable delimiter
(e.g. "|") but not the text delimiter. The result is a csv file, that is
imported in SPSS with quotation marks at the start and the end of every
string variable, even if the variable is empty. I found no way to delete
these quotation marks during the spss import process except with a quite
complicated macro.
Is it possible to change the SPSS export?
Kind Regards,
Juergen Spiegel

Dear all,
Could someone help us out with an issue regarding the change of layout of
an EpiData file every time we open in EpiData manager/EntryClient on
different computers?
This issue occurs every time we edit the file in a different computer, as
we are two persons working on the same file/project on different computer.
More specifically, we noticed that the layout shifts upwards when you open
the same file in on another computer. These upwards shifts of variables
results in the (visual or complete?) loss of the created variables. This
also makes the input of data through EntryClient challenging (because you
don’t see all the variables anymore).
Has this issue been encountered before? And would someone have a solution?
All help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks
Dear All
Unfortunately there was an undisclosed bug in the public version
released last week of new Analysis. One could exit Analysis without
being asked to save an unsaved pgm file in the editor.
This is now fixed.
The most recent public version is therefore:
_Manager_ *v4.6.0.2* _EntryClient_ *v4.6.0.2* _Analysis_ *v3.0.0.1*
And the combined one for Windows: setup.all-in-one.4.6.0.5.exe
The lacking finding of the error has been added to the pre-test for
coming analysis.
best wishes and apologies.

Dear Torsten, dear Jens,
Epidata-Manager does the SPSS-Export in a indirect way. A
SPSS-Syntax-File and a CSV-Data-File are created.
You have to run the Syntax in SPSS to create a SPSS-Datafile. This is
the current proceeding.
For this proceeding I have some questions:
- Is it very hard to create a SPSS-Datafile at once?
- Why is the SPSS-CSV-Data-Export-File different to a direct
CSV-Data-Export-File? The Structure is different.
In my opinion it will be easier and a clear way to have ONE (adjustible)
CSV-Data-Export-File. For that I recommend to replace the second Tab in
" Tools/Export.../Type: SPSS 'SPSS-Options' " with the 'CSV-Options'
(except for "Export Value Labels" because this is a great advantage of
EpiData! Perhaps this Item stands better one the first Tab.)
- Is it possible to change the default given SPSS-Syntax?
The "Data List"-Command still works, but it is a little bit out of date.
It does not work with the qualifier for Textvariables. So you have to
edit the csv-File or have to write a new Syntax. "GET DATA" is the
current Command.
With kind regards
Michael
Good morning.
I received a ticket from one of our Epidata users. The user is using Epidata 3.1. According to her, the data entry sheets usually self-populate with the correct date. However, it seems to be stuck on 20/04/2020. Please see attached.
Troubleshooting done:
1. Clear personalization and profile.
2. Re-install the software.
Info:
1. There are 2 users of Epidata in this department. The 2 of them are experiencing this.
2. They are using VDI pool to access Epidata.
What do you think is the problem and how it can be resolved.
Thank you.

Dear Jens and Team, Congratulations for this next step of Epidata Analysis 3.00 development. You have very kindly added the functionality of;Output background colour,Command background colour from Edit -- Colour pull down menu.I am not technically sure of the difficulties involved in adding "Editor background colour" option also in the software with cross platform compatibility.However if possible, please try to add that also in the next development release.Our rock solid Classical Epidata Analysis 2.2 ver was developed after year of hard work by Epidata Team. Replicating all those and additional functionalities in the new Epidata Analysis is a daunting task. However Epidata team has shown real perseverance .With regards and best wishes,Shavinder Singh
