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

fill fields from COMMENT LEGAL file

I'm studying the copydata example to learn how to extract several variables from a file identified in a COMMENT LEGAL statement. In A3.chk, the statement "TYPE COMMENT atransfer" appears. What is atransfer? I don't see where it has been defined as a variable and I don't find it as a system variable. Further, the program seems to be parsing the string in atransfer according to the position of punctuation. Where is the format of this string defined? Perhaps to be a bit more explicit: I have file with a list of CHWs: District, Village, CHW name and a survey conducted by the CHWs. As the data is entered for the survey, I'd like to present pick lists to facilitate entry. The data is quite strictly hierarchical: Villages occur within Districts, an CHWs live in villages. Thank you,

Comment Legal and Type Comment commands + One bug in EntryClient v1.1

Dear Jens, I want to bring to your kind attention the following matter. Comment Legal and Type Comment commands in the Epidata Entry preserved the 40 charaters lengh (continued from EPI6 DOS era) of Type Comment varible to recive the seleted lables. However with Manager v1.1, EntryClient v1.1, this limitation should be removed. In this era of large LCD monitors, it should be possible to have longer (possibly 100 or more characters) Type Comment varibles to accomodate longer lables such as ICD 10 codes. Is it possible One Bug – in the EntryClient v1.1, when programme settings dialog box is opened and necessary changes made, the EntryClient hangs and programme requires termination with Ctrl-Alt-Del. I have tested it on diffrerent PCs (Win XP). Thanks for the new Epidata Analysis. With regards, Dr. Shavinder Singh

EpiData Manager bugs - Request for assistance.

Hi, I am also experiencing the "out of memory" problem when trying to define value labels. I am using Windows 7 (64), and Manager version 1.0.0.0. It is obviously not a question of memory: I am using a new computer with a lot of memory, and trying a new, very simple, data entry form. Any suggestion for solving the problem? Thanks!
