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,

I have sent an example of the bug, including logfile, .epx, .dta, to info at epidata.dk. I have received the following automatic answer: This e-mail is unfortunately heavily burdened by spam. If you have a general comment or question on the use of EpiData Software, please search the EpiData list. To join the list or see contents follow the link on the main EpiData site frontpage. Join the list to ask the question again. According to Stata the variable format is %5.0f.

The values 32741 to 32767 are converted to (extended) missing data, above 32768 numbers are converted to negative numbers. Since the range [-32767 - 32768] contains 2^16 Numbers, I assume the export routine handles integer as 16bit Integers. We've tested it with EpiData Manager v2.0.2.28 and Stata 12,13,14.
