Jumps in Epidata Entry

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
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Jul '26

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,

Dear Jens, Can we run EntryClient in multiple instances? As Epidata classic 3.1 version. Because I have used the relational double entry verification with Epidata using the execute wait command instead of relate in the _dbl.chk file for relational file in real time. This is the my Idea for double entry & verification for relational files in Epidata 3.1.

Another implemented feature is the automatic checking of version against test versions and public versions. WARNING: Although we think this is quite stable do NOT use on production data or real projects still. If you install from the test page, the ordinary distribution version will be overwritten. So to continue with that one get the zipped/tar compressed version of the test software instead and unpack to a different folder on your computer. Please test and report . We are now working with details on the passage to a full public release version. Next evaluation of discussions and reported bugs will take place early 2015. To analyse data in a relational dataset you should export one dataform at a time. EpiData Analysis cannot read related data sets at this point. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association _______________________________________________ EpiData-list mailing list EpiData-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list ________________________________ This e-mail may contain information that is privileged or confidential.
