Changing color of a field: Re: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 44, Issue 7

Hi, i'm a new user of epidata, but already familiar with epi6. This is my first time replying to an inquiry, and hope to provide some tips or at least initiate an idea to solving an inquiry. To change the color of a field, a noenter or otherwise, you can have it defined at the beginning of a check file using the BEFORE FILE command, specifying the name of a field, and the color you want: BEFORE FILE COLOR vname color (i'm out in a field right now, i do not have access to my own pc, just using an internet cafe pc without epidata, so i can not provide more details on the command.)

Jumps in Epidata Entry
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Dear list, I have two questions regarding Jumps in EpiData Entry. 1) I want to jump to variable v10 if de score for v8 is 1 to 7. Of course this works: v8 RANGE 1 9 COMMENT LEGAL USE oplcat JUMPS 1 v10 2 v10 3 v10 4 v10 5 v10 6 v10 7 v10 END MUSTENTER END Is a shorter syntax possible and if so, how? 2) Is it possible to make a jump defination that depends on the value entered in a previous question? For example: After entering the value for variable v5 I want to jump to v8 if the answer on question v3=1. Kind Regards, Pieter van Groenestijn The Netherlands

nonter field

Hi epidata users ! Please, how can I change the color of a noenter field ? I tried modify it using the colour function into a before block, but it works for every field except the noenter field. I also tried to change the epidata.ini file, but it doesn´t work anyway. Where is my mistake ? I´d like to change the grey colour to another stronger one. Thank you very much. Mauricio

selective check
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Dear friends, Epidata is able to use external rec files as a check list. I would like to do this: dg1 should be groupped diagnoses dg2 should be the detail of the dg1 e.g. when there will be dg1=UTI (urinary tract infection) then I want to make the dg2 selection of SUTI - symptomatic UTI ASB - asymptomatic bacteriuria OUT - other urinary tract infections when dg1=BSI (Blood streem infection) then dg2 selection should be LCBI - laboratory confirmed bloodstreem infection CSEP - Clinical sepsis and so on. Could you help me?

Help with calculation using fields from 2 files
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

Dear fellow EpiData users, I have 2 data files, a demographics file called demo.rec and an assessment file called assess.rec. Demo.rec contains date of birth while assess.rec contains date of assessment. I'd like to calculate the age at assessment and display the age in assess.rec during data entry. How can I do a calculation using fields in 2 different files? An abbreviated version of my files with just the relevant fields are: demo.qes idno ### dob <dd/mm/yyyy> gender # demo.chk idno KEY UNIQUE 1 END gender LEGAL 1 2 END AFTER ENTRY RELATE idno assess END END assess.qes idno ### dateass <dd/mm/yyyy> ageass ##.# assess.chk idno KEY 1 END dateass AFTER ENTRY LET ageass=(dateass-???)/365.25 END END ageass NOENTER END Any help would be greatly appreciated.

value labels EpiData Analysis
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

I created a .rec file and added a .chk file in EpiData Entry. I created several value labels and saved the output. the .rec and .chk files are in the same folder and have identical names, but in EpiData Analysis FREQ and TABLES don't display labels in the results. SET TABLES VALUE=ON made no difference. Is there an option I haven't found to tell EpiData Analysis to use value labels from the associated .chk file?

Tabulating empty strata
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

If VAR1 and VAR2 can each take 5 values, but in the dataset some values are not used for both, is there a way to create a TABLES VAR1 VAR2 that lists all values and writes a zero in the cross-strata not containing any observation? I seem not been able to find the appropriate option for this. I would like to use it in EpiData Analysis Test Version 2.0 (build 112).
