Similarly you can also get the mergevar with the following commands below: cd "D:\bernard\epidemio" dir read fille merge fiche /file=pere/table /update/updateall Good luck Tieble On 5 April 2010 18:00, <epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> wrote: > Send EpiData-list mailing list submissions to > epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > You can reach the person managing the list at > epidata-list-owner(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of EpiData-list digest..." > > > EpiData-list mailing list > ___________________________________ > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hello, I have two related files : The first “pere.rec with : - QES File Fiche #### var1 ## var2 ## - CHK File fiche key unique end var2 if var2=1 then relate fiche pere.rec endif if var2<>1 then gotowrite endif end The second “fille.rec” with : - QES File fiche #### var3 ## var4 ## - CHK File fiche key end These two related files are correct to entry. But, in analysis, the commands : Read "D:\Bernard\Epidemio\pere.rec" merge fiche /file=”fille.rec" Reponse of software : Non-unique key in: D:\Bernard\Epidemio\fille.rec It is the same problem with “key unique” and “key” with “1” at the end.

Res: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 78, Issue 1

Hello Pedro Emmanuel and all EpiData friends. I think it might be a keyboard problem. I have experienced some similar problem when writing in LaTeX (in a Sweave file for R). Don't remember well in which UTF-8 (with RKWard and Kile under Linux) or ISO-8859-1 encoding what looked in screen and paper like ">" didn't work like such operator. I guess I solved the problem by converting the code and retype the ">"s. Hope it helps :-) Fúlvio B.

Exporting to epidata format - not valid boolean expression BUG???
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hello EpiData friends, I just sent an email about an error "invalid boolean expression" when trying to export to EpiData format with EpiData entry with filters. I guess that I found an unexpected bug. When I use the following filters the export is OK (alt1 is numeric variable formated as ####.##). alt1 <> 42 alt1 = 42 But when I use the following filters the export give this error. alt1 >= 42 alt1 <= 42 alt1 > 42 alt1 < 42 Therefore, I guess there is something to do with the > or < signs! Did anyone experience such an error before? Abraço forte e que a força esteja com você, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

I have a rec file which I would like to create a subset. I tried to use the EpiData entry data export, using the filter option. When I set the filter such as: hepato <> 2 it is ok. But when I set the filter as alt1 >= 42 ... or I set the filter as ... (alt >= 42) or (hepato <> 2) I get an error saying this is not a valid boolean expression.

Linking Epidata to an online database
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi Are there any of you who have experience with linking Epidata to an online database? If so, how did you manage to do so and how did it work? I am to start up a large study where several subinvestigators will have to enter data from there own computer on a daily basis. I think it would be an advantage to the data management, if we did not have to merge all the datafiles manually, but instead enter them into an online database after each entry session. Thank you, for your help!
