Hello, I'm in the process of learning how to use EpiData Analysis. I'm going through the instructions in the Tiramisu example. I've run into a problem. I'm trying to create the epicruve/histogram. The graph window (Editing Chart) is not showing up. I looked through comments on the [EpiData-list] and found a recommendation: insert (set graph edit=on) in the command line. I tried this but received this message (graph edit not supported). How do I turn on the (editing chart) window? Thanks, Sandy

Extending command over multiple lines
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Is there a way of extending a command in the EpiData Entry CHK file beyond a single line? In my example below I've got around the problem by using nested IF... THENs but there may be another way. For instance in Stata a command can be extended over multiple lines by ending each line with ///. admit1mon AFTER ENTRY IF (admit1mon<>"JAN") AND (admit1mon<>"FEB") AND (admit1mon<>"MAR") AND (admit1mon<>"APR") AND (admit1mon<>"MAY") AND admit1mon<>"JUN") THEN IF (admit1mon<>"JUL") AND (admit1mon<>"AUG") AND (admit1mon<>"SEP") AND (admit1mon<>"OCT") AND (admit1mon<>"NOV") AND (admit1mon<>"DEC") THEN HELP "Month is a 3 character field, e.g. JAN, FEB, etc" TYPE=ERROR GOTO admit1mon CLEAR admit1mon ENDIF ENDIF END END Cheers, Suzanna Vidmar Senior Research Officer Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit Murdoch Childrens Research Institute Royal Children's Hospital Flemington Road Parkville Victoria 3052 Australia telephone: +61 3 9345 6372 facsimile: +61 3 9345 6000 email: suzanna.vidmar(a)mcri.edu.au www.mcri.edu.au <http://www.mcri.edu.au/>

No of character
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Jul '10

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.

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
