Dear Hans, Thank you for your reply but I also saw this mistakes. Many thanks. --Pièce jointe du message transmise-- From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 19:24:19 +0200Envoyer Subject: Re: [EpiData-list] How to calculate age Dear Sophie: You cannot have "BEFORE ENTRY" in a "NOENTER" field because no command in that field can ever be executed. Better choose an "AFTER ENTRY" block in the field in which you added the last component that is needed to calculate the age, i.e., in the field DoB. To this end you may try: Your QES file: age ##.# recdate <Today-dmy> dob <dd/mm/yyyy> other _ Your CHK file: age NOENTER END dob MUSTENTER AFTER ENTRY age=(recdate-dob)/365.25 END END Regards, Hans On 20:59, epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca wrote: > Hello everybody, > I am trying to write a syntax in .chk file to automatically calculate age during the data entry from the today's date and the DoB.The syntax is : > " ddn > MUSTENTER > END > > > age > NOENTER > BEFORE ENTRY > let age=ound(int((date-ddn)/(365.25)))) > END > END" > The variables are coded in the .qes file as follows: > {DATE} automatique<Today-dmy>{DDN} DATE DE NAISSANCE (DATE OF BIRTH)<dd/mm/yyyy>{AGE} automatique ### > What's wrong with my syntax? > Sincerely hope you can help me. > Regards, > Sophie PilleronPhD student. > -- Hans L Rieder, MD, MPH Jetzikofenstr 12 3038 Kirchlindach Switzerland Tel: +41 31 829 4577 Mob: +41 79 321 9122 Web: http://www.tbrieder.org --Pièce jointe du message transmise-- From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2011 20:04:14 +0200 Subject: [EpiData-list] How to calculate age Many thanks Jamie.

problems downloading to Mac OS X 10.6.8

HI, I attend college in CA and my professor insists that I use Epidata for our quantitative analysis. I am taking a research tools class. Everyone with Windows was able to download Epidate, except me, the only Mac user. Actually, it downloaded or appears to have downloaded, but I am not able to open it up. When I try to open it up, it looks lke a corrupt document. It's not acting independently as a software program. I appreciate your help and aide. Sincerely, Mic
