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,

EpiData Manager, Append Records

Hello, This is in reference to using EpiData Manager and trying to append records using the Tools > Append option, for a Project that has 2 dataforms. When the Append Project window appears, the fields available are only from the 1st dataform. After successfully appending, the dataset for the 1st form is complete, and the 2nd form appears to have the correct number of records, but when viewing the data, or exporting, all rows for the appended records are null. This is the same case with a Project with a parent and child forms. The data is complete for the Parent form, but the Child form has rows with null values for all appended records. EpiData Manager: (2017/03/14 - 10:05:27) Program Version: 4.0.2.101 r1409 Core version: 4.0.0.0 r1373 FPC Version: 3.0.0 Platform: x86_64-Win64 XML Version: 4 Dataforms Count: 2 Please let me know if you need additional information.

Dear List. Today we have released a minor update for EpiData Manager (v4.0.2.101) and EntryClient (v4.0.2.49) with the following changes: *Manager* * Fixed a bug where starting with -i commandline, but with no arguments, which caused A/V * On Variable properties - moved EntryMode to basic pane. * Grouped Value Labels and Ranges together * Removed variable property "Show Value Label Notes" - was not used * Fixed bug were it was posible to try import data to valuelabels with unsuppported variables selected. * Rename "max missing value" and "2nd max..." to "last missing value" and "2nd last..." as it is actualle the order of missing values that matters *EntryClient* * Changed the behaviour and text for the dialog when an existing index/key is found * Fixed a bug where the program would crash on close if preferences were opened with a project opened * All hints (including error hints) now follow the timing set in preferences. * Fixed a bug where the default font on windows might not have been present on all operating systems The new version is as always available from the download page: http://www.epidata.dk/download.php Kind regards Torsten Bonde Christiansen EpiData
