Unless, something go lost, there is surely something missing here:
IF N9SUICIDE = or (N9SUICIDE = 2 AND TOTAL >= 16) or TOTAL > 42

Hi,
I wonder if someone can spot the syntax problem in this CHK file for the Beck Depression inventory. I've struggled for hours to get it to work the way it did under Epi Info. Basically, there are three conditions in an IF statement. I've tried with the two simple conditions alone and the script works (condition at the beginning & at the end). Combining conditions always gives the 'atrisk' calculated variable the answer "N". Is there a limitation or syntax difference in Epidata??
