Dear users,

I am just about to get familiar with EpiData Manager and have a question regarding the variable “Double Entry Verification Status” that is optionally added after performing Duplicate Files Validation. First of all: Thank you to the developers – what a great option to add this result field.

As it has already been described before, The values for the created variable are: 0 = Validated 1 = Record does not exist in duplicate file 2 = Failed due to different text 3 = Failed due to different values 4 = Duplicate key exists

If have performed some fake validation and all errors have been detected correctly. However: The erroneous record had only the value “0” in the result field. I would have expected it to be “3” since it contained errors in some of the numeric fields. Did I understand something wrong with that or did I make any mistake by using this option? Why did all my records have the value “0” even if some of them failed validation?

Thanks a lot in advance for your answers!

Best regards, Malgorzata Schlöffel
