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 Konan Diby, Currently Epidata is meant for desktop and not mobile, I stand for correction.However there are various version of other software which are free you can use for your data collection. CSpro and Epiinfo are some public software you can use for free and they have mobile platform. Hope this information, will be useful to you.
