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,

 Dear Jens,All in one" bundle is suitable and time saving in Windows software. Classical EpidataEntry and Analysis are still popular and stable. Please retain these as long aspossible. It will require time and effort to preserve the range of functionalities of  Classical Epidata Entry and Analysis in the new versions as well as add new features.Keep up this good contribution  for public health.With regards,Dr. Shavinder Singh

A question on size of downloads - what is acceptable for EpiData Software ?

Please consider if a change in download principles is acceptable. All maintained software could be released in two forms: 1 As an installation "all in one" bundle for (4 different bundles): a1: Linux 32 bit (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis) b1: Linux 64 bit (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis) c1: Mac OS (Standard Intel) : (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis) d1: Windows (common routine for 32 and 64 bit): (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis, Analysis Classic) 2 As zipped packages with all software in one zip file (4 different bundles): a2: Linux 32 bit (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis) b2: Linux 64 bit (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis) c2: Mac OS (Standard Intel) : (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis) d2: Windows (all in one for 32 and 64 bit): (Manager, EntryClient, New Analysis, Analysis Classic) The download size will be up to about 10 Mb per package/bundle. With the above we add Analysis Classic to the current windows packages. The reason is that it will take quite a while before remaining functionality (graphs, survival analysis etc) will be added to the rewritten Analysis. Analysis Classic will remain as it is in the latest version (v2.2 rel 3, build 187). The webpage will also provide access to the current Classic Entry v3.1. Please comment here or by mail to info (at) epidata.dk Best wishes Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association Denmark
