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,

Mulitple Diagnosis

Dear Jens and Jammy ,First example quantifies the total number of diagnosis which can besorted in descending order to see the magnitude.Second example actually adds all diagnosis in one defined variable (AllDiag).This can again be sorted in descending order (to see the magnitude) anddiagnosis grouping by sorting alphabetical. This data was actually entered inExcell sheet as numerically coded diagnosis. AllDiagnosis___________ resulted in sum of all the numberic data.Hence these codes were converted to actual diagnosis. This resulted inexcellent pattern of diagnostic combinations of all patients. Epidata Analysisis a marvellous software.Thank you for your prompt response and sustained effort to develop Epidata.Much appriciated.Dr Shavinder Singh

Multiple Diagnosis
by EpiData development and support 25 Nov '17

Dear Epidata Team,                   We have a patient's database. A patient can have multiplediagnosis. Hence these are the numerically coded variables defined for dataentry of ;Diag, Diag2, Diag3, Diag4, Diag5, Diag6. Of course one can FREQ theIndividual "diag" and see the individual diagnosis pattern. However if onewants to see the pattern of common diagnostic combinations observed inall the patients, is there any way out?  Dr. Shavinder Singh

EpiData EntryClient and Manager error: Control `DataviewerFrame’ has no parent window
by EpiData development and support 06 Nov '17

Hello: We (my admin and I) created a data base in EpiData Manager. Data has been entered. When I press Ctrl D, I can see the data entered nicely in column. I wanted to show my admin this functionality so that she can see how the data looks when entered. When we press Ctrl D (browse data) or use the menu on her computer we get this error (see below). Do you know how we could resolve this error: Control `DataviewerFrame’ has no parent window? IT has already uninstalled and installed both the Manager and the EntryClient. Any advice would be very much appreciated. [cid:image001.jpg@01D356DD.ADAB9260] Thanks, Renate
