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,

aggregate counts
by EpiData development and support 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Dear colleagues from my rec file with individual data I created and aggregate file with district, agegroup and year of notification. For each combination I have a cummulative count of cases. Now I am not able to use this aggregate table as it was possible in Epiinfo v6. Something like: sumtable agegroup n /by=district (to have a agegroup table with cumulative numbers for each district) Thanks for advise -- Vladimír Príkazský tel: +46 858 601 636 fax: +46 858 601 001 mobil: +46 *720 436 206* _____________________________ Motto: :-) Kam chodi slunce, nechodi doktor!
