>Question: when you export data from EpiData, can you export "notes" as well? The "notes" file is plain text, so there is no need to export it. You can open that type of file in any textprocessor, such as notepad, word, openoffice etc. To have your notes on using EpiData placed on the EpiData web server either send: a. A link to where you publish yourself on your own web server b. A copy to me (info(a)epidata.dk) Often the problem is not to make a note first time, but to keep it updated the whole time. So if you have acces to a web page at your institution option a is easiest for you since you can post updates without having to send a new copy to me. regards Jens Lauritsen Jens M.

One further aspect of select: One user wrote > The last data set I worked on included 5,227 records. > The data base was originally on Excel, then I imported it in DBase III, > and then in Epi Data. For variables with only one character (for > instance sex: M or F), I have in fact 12 chararcters. So I could not > select the variable sex = \"M\" without the \"trim\" gimmick. So doing > select trim (sex)=\"M\" now it works beautifully. Thanks a lot Arnaud So the select example should be extended to say: * if imported data and select is not working, try trim() on your field, e.g.: select trim (sex)="M" regards Jens Lauritsen

In the new part of documentation (from v0.9 build 10 of analysis) there is a file with "how to ..." on this topic the content is: Select by date - existing variable Solution: use the built in formulae. Adapt according to your date format (dmy/mdy/ymd) E.g. to select all born before 12th of february 1988: Select birthday < dmy(12,2,1988) Select birthday < date("02/12/1988","mdy") Select birthday < date("12/02/1988","dmy") The first uses function dmy(,,), the second date(,) with mdy and the third date(,) with "dmy". regards Jens Lauritsen >>> <epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> 22-10-2004 08:27:30 >>> Dear Sir Greetings Kindly tell me some examples about select date variable I have variable in which i stored the date in (dd/mm/yyyy) format. but in analyis i use select command to selecting the date it does not work.

Testing reliability of the analysis programme
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

I am in the process of building a set of pgm files which will assert whether the precision of the analysis programme is sufficient or not. The idea is to compare with standard or reference values for a number of tests known as the NIST standard datasets. If someone are willing to put in some hours of work in this let me know. I expect at the end we will publish a paper on this. regards Jens Lauritsen Jens M. Lauritsen, Consultant,MD. PhD. The EpiData Association, (EpiData Foreningen) Enghavevej 34, DK5230 Odense M.
