New experimental version of EpiData Manager and EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

A new experimental test version is available from http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php ----------------- Warning: Experimental versions create epx project files, which cannot be used in the public download version and cannot be read by EpiData Analysis. It is therefore crucial that you separate the testing of future functionality from everyday production use. It is also crucial that you accept that we cannot guarantee function in experimental versions, which allow usage in real projects. -------------------- Until today on the testing.php page an experimental version was placed with partial function of scripting as part of the epx definitions. The scripting function will be included in the development over the next months with other new features, which will be tested in a sequential order. The version avaialable from today has two new features: a. the ability of using value labels in an external project file, e.g. the whole ICD10 diagnosis list. b. The ability of creating value labels by importing data residing in a datafile, which can be any file type supported in current import. To use this get the experimental version from the indicated page and MAKE sure to install in a folder away from the public download version The sequence for using external labels could be: a. import data from an external source into a value label set. Menu->tools->Value labels from data b. save the project having these new labels. c. in another project open the value label editor (alt+v) and add as external labels a reference to the project which you created in a+b. You may now use the project in the EntryClient (which MUST also be the experimental version). Notice that the project containing the data and the "external label" project file must reside in the same folder. regards Torsten Christiansen Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association, Denmark

Handling long path names on some Windows variants (Windows 7 in particular) - and also in some other situations. 2. Export to Stata created to a certain extent faulty files - in particular on Windows 32 bit versions. 3. Setup of where backup files with date added to the name are saved. (the release 1.4.4.0 did not save in the correct path). Additionally we have clarified captions and texts to make sure: A. Double Entry in Manager and EntryClient is NOT simultaneous entry with compare during entry. But instead separate entry with control after full entry in second file. B. Specification of Compare Duplicate Files (was validate duplicate files) - in which field by field is compared btw the two files based on key variables indicated. Data Content Validation - which will control a given file for internal consistency in accordance with specifications in that file. E.g. if values included conform to all range or value labels are Renaming Fields etc. On the project detail part in Manager you may now rename all fields, sections and headers sequentially from the top, such that fields are e.g. V1 to V34 The errors above were found while I was teaching a class of 30 ph.d. students using various versions of Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. regards Jens Lauritsen ------------------------------ ________________________________________ EpiData-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list End of EpiData-list Digest, Vol 124, Issue 4 ******************************************** ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 08 Feb 2014 14:47:17 +0100 From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: Re: [EpiData-list] RE: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 124, Issue 4 To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Message-ID: <52F63565.5000800(a)epidata.dk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed As part of the course I am doing just now, there are a number of podcasts under way. So the question is by no means malplaced. I have not decided whether it is a complete recording or just minor parts. I tend to draw a lot on the blackboard, so it is very flexible and dynamic - and therefore depends a lot of the specific course. But obviously it can be recorded for general access - I will think about a technical solution. I will tell more about that and add updated instruction materials in about a month, when the course is completed. I am also sure that the course will reveal some details of "insufficient function" or need for minor adaptations. So even though we have released now 1.4.4.2 for general use it is still important that all users discuss on this list. The number of possible combinations of operation systems (windows, linux, mac) and the versions of each of these make for quite many possible bugs, that we have had no chance to capture in the in-house testing.
