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,

Re: [EpiData-list] Compability between v4.2 and v4.4.x.x

Hi, I personally use manager v4.4.2.1 and client 4.4.3.1 on my Mac. In the hospital they have now upgraded to v4.2. Would I expect any compability issues between these versions ? I need for another user to use the database in hospital and then it might me that I need to use it locally as well on my personal Mac. I was just afraid to muck things up if the versions are not compatible. Kind Regards -- Henning L. Stokmo

With a recent change to the epidata.dk <http://epidata.dk/> website, the download page has become inaccessible. The cause is known and a fix is expected shortly. Sincere apologies from the Epidata team.
