Is it possible to use the Double Entry Verification tool on a relational database?
The related REC files are:
* Infant health diary.rec (the "Parent" file), and
* Infant health diary weekly record.rec (the "Child" file)
I created the double entry databases:
* Infant health diary_dbl.rec, and
* Infant health diary weekly record_dbl.rec
In "Infant health diary_dbl.chk" I edited the code for the relate command so that the double entry file is linked:
RELATE idchild "Infant health diary weekly record_dbl.rec"
When opening "Infant health diary_dbl.rec" for entry, I'm not given a warning stating that EpiData is in double entry verification mode. Is there something else I need to do to make this work? If not, I realise I can set up a second relational database and check for inconsistencies once all the data's been entered.
