Jumps in Epidata Entry
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Jul '26

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

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,

The version mentioned refers to the structure of the XML file, not the version of the software. So someone in your organisation have opened and saved the file with the newest version. Which you should also use, since we have fixed many bugs. Manager: v2.0.2.28 EntryClient: v2.0.2.13 It will always be such that a later version of the software can open ANY earlier public release version. BUT also such that you should NEVER use the testing version of Manager or EntryClient found on epidata.dk/testing.php on real project data. Since during the testing we might have changes to the xml structure of the project which are later abandoned. Is there a reason why you would like to use v1.4.4.4 and not 2.0.2.13 for your project ?

Error opening the project in EpiData Entry Client
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Dear List, A project was developped in the field. Since recently, without any apparent reason we can't open anymore the .epx with the database and continue the data entry. The error message indicates: "project has incorrect XML. Max supported XML Version 2: Project XML version 3”. The version we have is v1.4.4.4. Although a different version was used in the past, I was always able to open it with the v1.4.4.4 which is not the case anymore. Could you please specify what the error message means? or way forward to be able to open the project again? Many thanks in advance Sophie Masson
