"copy to clipboard" function in entry client
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Jens, Thank you very much for your effort. If this really works out, it will change the my work rationale from water to wine. I would like to make a other suggestions/comments: 1. Make the default "copy to clipboard" setting = "%q: %d %v \n", at least for me it is more reasonable. 2. Tested with \t but tab makes the questions less line up after pasting at notepad. 3. Nevertheless, common spaces works fine and other characters such as ":" also seem to work fine. 4. When there is fields such as sex, where there is a value such 1 or 2, and a value label, such as Male and Female, the setting above will paste something like "Patient sex: 2 female" which is a little weird, mainly for those who later will read the medical record and are not awere these came from dataentry codes. Is it possible to make a setting code to omit the field value if a value label is available? A major problem... I tested the copy to clipboard function and it seems it may work fine only with the current record, not yet saved. When I go back to saved records and try to run "copy to clipboard" from these records an error comes: "Access violation. Press ok to ignore data corruption. Press cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, the data does not go to the clipboard. When I press cancel, entreyclient is closed. Therefore I cant copy/paste a saved record. Is there a solution/workaround for this?

Jens, Considering the content of your last mail, It seem that you will insert this as suggestion for further development.

Epidata and Electronic medical records
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Dear EpiData Friends, Since 2004 the institution I work at, adopted electronic medical record. For me and colleagues which work with clinical research, we have for long working doubling our efforts in registering the required information, at the medical chart and at data entry. Currently most of us work like this: 1.Patient evaluation 2.typing research information at electronic medical records 3.retrieving information from the computer and writing into paper CRF 4.typing the CRF data from paper into computer data entry again. This routine complies with GCP as we consider the electronic medical record the source document. For long we have talked about more automatic and less laborious, and less prompt to error routine. Here one must understand that the medical appointment occurs in a room where a computer is available. We would like that this process to be something like: 1. Patient evaluation 2. The physician type in the information of that visit into a data entry during patient evaluation 3. This data entry is able to transport this data as a text to be pasted at the text entry of the electronic mdical record 4. The physician is able to edit the electronic medical record for aditional information. The main points here is: there is less work in filling forms and records; and there will be less steps in data traveling where mistakes could be inserted by researchers or typing team; and would keep the medical record as source document. Currently Im not awere of any software able to do some exporting in text from the data entry that could allow the process change. If EpiData was up to do something like this, after data entry of a particular record, there would a magic button somewhere able to copy to clipboard the text (like in notepad) with all variables labels and value labels or variable values. After that the user would use Ctrl+V to paste it at the medical record. Does anyone have similar problem? Which solutions have you implemented? Kind regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Import of REC files
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

The published version has two icons for importing a) structure or b) data. Data import from REC files works The test version v1.3.0.6 has a single icon (second from the left in the second row) or CTRL+I) to "Import data and structure from file". Trying to import a REC file from here imports only the structure but no data.

Hello, Thank you for this new version. In my work, I do not use the new "Epidata Entry" or "EpiData Manager", in the absence of simple calculations for variables. I ask again to calculate in "Edit", for example, as in Epidata CHECK (old "EA Entry 3.1"), an "age" with age = (date examination - date naissance)/365.25... More, it is a pity that I got requests for Mac.

This problem usually arises because a file has been edited and some record lengths changed or from the introduction of some random characters with a disk error. I have always been able to reconstruct .rec files using a plain text editor like the old Windows Notepad. Even better is a programmer's editor (there are many) that can identify the end of each line in case you have a line with more than 80 characters in the data section (e.g. some spaces beyond the !).

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Dear List Today we have released a new exprimental test-version of EpiData Manager (v 1.3.0.5). The new version is available for download on our testing website: http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha In this test version we have changes the printing routine to support printing directly to a printer, rather than to SVG files (vector graphics). In addition to support printing a number of minor bugs have also been fixed. The full list of changes can be found here: http://epidata.dk/epidatamanager.changelog.txt The next test release for the project will contain printing ability for the EntryClient Unless the testing reveals problems, which cannot be solved easily - the official version for real projects will contain the functionality in the current testversions within some weeks. Announcements will take place here on the list. Following the release of the next official version for real projects an announcement will be made regarding the planned features for the coming six months.

This problem usually arises because a file has been edited and some record lengths changed or from the introduction of some random characters with a disk error. I have always been able to reconstruct .rec files using a plain text editor like the old Windows Notepad. Even better is a programmer's editor (there are many) that can identify the end of each line in case you have a line with more than 80 characters in the data section (e.g. some spaces beyond the !).

Help with epidata manager
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Sep '12

15 Sep '12

Dear Jens Lauritsen, EpiData Association Denmark I am the co-ordinator of the Clinical Epidemiology Unit of my medical college in South India. We teach research methods to post graduate students and have been teaching epi-data for a few years, with a lot of positive reviews from students. We have now been trying out the epidata manager that you have introduced.We thought it would be a good idea to switch to teaching this to our residents rather than the earlier epidata. In this context, i need your advice 1. Is epidata manager ready for use by students-ie is it still in testing? 2. We seem to be running in to some trouble with using epidata manager-Sir, do you have a detailed user manual or online presentations that we can access to learn the use before teaching I look forward to your early reply I want to thank you again for this brilliant effort-many in developing countries with resource constraints are blessed by these efforts Thanking you regards Dr Thambu David S Professor and Head Medicine Unit 2 Christian Medical College, Vellore 632004, India

Fwd: Ny Manager
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Dear List Today we have released a new exprimental test-version of EpiData Manager (v 1.3.0.4). The new version is available for download on our testing website: http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha Please challenge this test version. The following description is rather short, test and see whether you find interface and function intuitive, and specific aspects with correct function. . The main new design feature is: * Completely rewritten dataform designer * Moving, selecting and replacing fields on the dataform is easier. * Select multiple fields, texts and sections. * Changes to Copy, cut & paste. - Paste will happen at current position of mouse pointer. * Preliminary Undo/Redo support. This is so far limited to dragging and sizing of controls. * Importing data and structures is combined into the same funtionality. New export formats (CSV, SPSS, SAS) * Export (printing) to SVG file format, (click on tool in tool bar) which can be read by e.g. Inkscape (see inkscape.org) of dataforms * View data * Encryption of project data (headers are still human readable) * Key unique including testing of status * Prepare Double Entry and Validate Double Entry functionality * Reports may now also be output as Text rather than HTML. Kind regards Torsten Christiansen Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

> > > >sort ID PERIOD POFFSET >gen MARK=1 >if (ID = ID[-1]) and (PERIOD=PERIOD[-1]) then MARK = 0 This is a great approach. I just want to add something. According to my understanding, this would make MARK=1 for the records with the smallest number of one set of ID and PERIOD. But it does not necessarily mean that the record with MARK=1 would be closest the expected date. In this example, > Each period I select (M3, M6, M12...)

This is because patients did not always respect their > appointment dates. for some reasons, if the patient came at 81 and 93 days, PERIOD would be -9 and 3 respectively and the record with PERIOD=-9 would be selected (MARK=1) which is not desirable. To avoid this situation, we just need to neutralize the minus sign of POFFSET by doing this before sorting ID PERIOD POFFSET. So, I would suggest the following command: if POFFSET<0 then POFFSET= -1*POFFSET[_n] sort ID PERIOD POFFSET gen MARK=1 if (ID = ID[-1]) and (PERIOD=PERIOD[-1]) then MARK = 0 Best wishes, Zaw > Message: 5 > Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:23:24 -0400 > From: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > Subject: Re: [EpiData-list] Epidata analysis > To: epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP250E7B96809BAD9A83BDABFDA20(a)phx.gbl> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" > > The approach to this would be: > > - create the new variable that identifies period (I'm not sure why you use > more than one) (PERIOD) > - create a new variable that equals the number of days between expected > and actual visit (POFFSET) > - SORT the data on patient ID, PERIOD and POFFSET > - create a new variable to mark the first record you find for a given > patient and period (MARK) > You do the last two steps like this: > > sort ID PERIOD POFFSET > gen MARK=1 > if (ID = ID[-1]) and (PERIOD=PERIOD[-1]) then MARK = 0 > > MARK will set to zero for the second visit for any patient in a period > (because ID and PERIOD will be the same as previous) > > Jamie > > On 2012-08-27, at 3:11 AM, epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca wrote: > > > I have a “.rec” Epidata data set with patients with chronic diseases > > (Diabetes and Hypertension).

Epidata analysis
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

I have a “.rec” Epidata data set with patients with chronic diseases (Diabetes and Hypertension). I would like to undertake some analysis to determine what is happening on the patients at different periods of follow up. (Month 3, 6, 12........) i.e. Glucose levels, BP, BMI....... Each period I select (M3, M6, M12...) I give an allowance of + &- 10 days. (e.g. for M3=90 days from the day of enrollment, I select between day 80 and day 100). This is because patients did not always respect their appointment dates. In the period selected (between day 80 -100) some patients for several reasons were seen more than once. I would like to select only one visit date in case of moth 3 follow up that is closest to the 90th day from date of enrollment .(e.g. a patient had a visit on the 80th day and 95th day, I want to select the 95th day visit which is closest to day 90)..... How do I do this with Epidata analysis? NB: My variables are “enrolment date” and “visit date” Kwal

100% converting rec to epx
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Now it is clear that the converting (aka Import, "Add data structure...") of REC-files into the new epx-format doesn't work 100%tly. Plausibility checks are not importet. This is one of the BUGs I can see. Maybe there get more lost in the conversion. Is there a bug-tracking system where I can add and monitore it? Where can I see the development time table? I really need to update my project to the new format. Of course I need a complete converting routine for it. I won't do any work again that was done before in the old version.

Epidata version 3.1 - build 22feb2005
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

I really need an older version of EpiData to do some tests. How can I get "Epidata version 3.1 - build 22feb2005" ? I've never used it. But I converted old rec-files to epx-format. Now there is now plausibility check or default values while entering data with EntryClient. I am not sure if it causes in the conversion or if it is "normal" because the old rec-files behave the same way. I need to test it.

I have 7 old REC-files. I imported them to the new data format with "add structure". I saw that I can append all sheets together to one big sheet. But I don't want it. Is there a way to create one project (epx-file) with 7 separate sub-sheets in it?

editing qes- and chk-files?
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Aug '12

Here is an old EpiData project with seven sheets (rec-files). The doc about the project describe how to add "user-defined variables". Sheet number 7 is prepared for this and the user just have to edit the qes- and maybe the chk-file with an text-editor. It sounds realy old and obsulet. Am I right? Convertet the rec-files to the new epx-format there is no need to edit the file manualy with hand, right? There is the EpiData Manager for this job, right? Can I forget the qes- and chk-files if I have the new epx or are they related to each other?

What is the big difference between 2005 and now?

Dear all I cannot open the EpiData rec files from my colleague, the error message "one or more records are corrupted" shows up. My colleague can open the files normally. We are both using EpiData version 3.1. I looked at the files in the notepad, but it seems to me that they look like my own files (which are fine). Can somebody help me? I need my colleague's files to validate duplicate files with my files. Thank you very much, best wishes, Nicole Dr. med.

Nicole, How do you exchange the .rec-files? Via a Unix operating system to Windows, e.g. via the internet? It may happen that this modifies the <cr><lf> (carriage return/line feeds) at the end of the lines. One solution would be to send/receive files packed in .zip files, that way the <cr><lf> characters should be kept as they are. Another possibility is using a good text editor (like Ultra Edit) that allows to modify the CR/LFs from Unix text file to Windows text files or vice versa (i.e. to repair them). Please let me know whether this was helpful! Dirk Nicole wrote: > I cannot open the EpiData rec files from my colleague, the error > message "one or more records are corrupted" shows up.

Re: Import XML EpiData files from R

Jamie, Thank you for your effort. Sometimes I use Stata format as an intermediate as Stata datasets contains all the data dictionary. However, for data management within clinical research (such as checking for duplicates, NAs fields, inconsistencies and so on) doing repetitive procedures manually is not that effective. Have you ever thought to share this development effort with the R core team? The R guys which developed and maintain the foreign package? Regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Import XML EpiData files from R
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 Aug '12

EpiData friends, One the things that was limiting me to definitely move from 3.1 to new EpiData with new epx and epz format is that I was not able to import epx/epz data form within R. Currently, from a R users list I was awere of this user made function. So now Im will try to let 3.1 go and gradually transform my files to XML based formta. If there is any R use in this list, could any help me test if it works nicely? https://github.com/daudi/Epidata-XML-to-R kind regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Transpose from wide to long
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hello, I have a parent file where all family members are represented as one observation. Some of these families are relatively large. This makes it impossible to print the information on one page. I did merge the parent file with the child file. The drawback here is that not all family members are present in the child file and we would like to include all family members on the list. To resolve this issue, I would like to create one observation per family member. Is it possible to code this in EpiData Analysis? For example: Family Mom Dad Child1 Child2 Child3 .....etc 1 2 1 A B C To: Family Mom Dad Child 1 2 1 A B C OR: Family Mom Dad Child 1 2 1 A 1 2 1 B 1 2 1 C Thanks, Renate

Re: Unable to save EpiData Entry Manager project

No, I am working on a stand-alone machine...no networking. So it's standard c drive. And the paths are correctly specified in settings. Yes, one timed backup file exists...from the previous day. Otherwise epz files were created only when I saved. You indicate one can turn on/off timed backups. How? I certainly can't find this option under settings. After 3 days the Entry Manager is still open with the still unsaved project!

Paired "t" test example worked and "MANUAL" progress
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Jul '12

Dear Jamie,            It worked. Thank you so much.Dear Jens,          In the F1 help file of Epi Analysis, please incorporate it separately; The steps for Unpaired “t” test (which “means command” generates between two independent sample), In the help file we only have this line for (Unpaired) “t” test, MEANS BP /by=SMOKE   The Paired “t” test steps which Jamie has described, should also be included.. Example:* paired t-test on variables x1 and x2 gen xdiff=x1-x2means xdiff /t Our Epidata Entry and Analysis manual is developing. The Command reference is the heart of any User Manual. Another manual of (www.tbrieder.org) is also very useful but Command reference section is required. Our list has vast searchable resource (compilation of last 12 years) of “Solutions” for the common problems, the users have encountered. Hence let us work on a standard Reference manual of Epidata Entry and Analysis. Of course, the future challenges are USER manuals of EntryClient and manager also. With best wishes and regards, Dr. Shavinder Singh

Formatting epidata forms
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 11 Jul '12

Hopefully a simple question - can bits of text within epidata forms be formatted (e.g. enlarge / bold headings)? At the moment when formatting via the File - Options facility, the formats are applied to all the form rather than to bits within it.

List index out of bounds (77)
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 11 Jul '12

Dear jens lauritsen thank you for your answer. We merged them using analysis and it worked fine. Actually we were wondering if the fact that by merging them using Epidata Entry and receiving the error message "list index out of bounds (77)", implies that there is an error in the structure of the two original files (in the chk files or whatever) and this will cause us problems in the analysis later on. If this error message is a small bag of the program, we would like just to report it.

Just: 1 start manager 2 create new project 3 point your mouse over the icons - two on the left side of the toolbar will either "add structure" or "import" your file. One problem can be if you work on a linux pc, that the extension of the .rec file and the .chk file should be in lower case. that is not .REC and .CHK Following import of data and or structure you have to reallocate your value labels to the fields. To avoid that you can export from EpiData entry to a stata file and then use that for adding structure or data+structure It would be a good test for us to see if you can import data and labels and then in EntryClient verify that all is imported correctly.

require TAB or ENTER key to move to next field, even if entered data fills the previous field
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

As I understand it, during data entry in Epidata 3.1 (on Windows XP), if X characters are entered into an X-character-long text field, EpiData will automatically move to the next field. However, if the text entered is less than X in length, then the TAB or ENTER key must be used to go to the next field. Can I set things up to require the ENTER or TAB key always to be pressed to get to the next field? In other words, I'd like a field to remain in focus, even if the data completely fills it, until TAB or ENTER is pressed. Thanks. --Chris -- Christopher W.

Epimanager / Calculated Date
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hello, I created two dates (date of birth of mother (datem), and date delivery (dated)). I also created a variable "age". >From "age", in the field calculation, I can calculate the age field in the results because the variable does not appear (below results, "none" is noted). While, if I create another variable "age2, in the calculation, "age" appears in the window (and I write age = dated - datem). So in Entry, age is noted in variable "age" and not in "age2".... It is quite complicated... Why should I create two variables ???? I miss the ease of entry with a EPIDATA ENTRY 3.1 before with the formula (age2=(dated-datem)/365.25..... Thank you.

Question re defining a new variable in EpiData Analysis
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hello, I am a relatively new EpiData user and am now using EpiData Analysis. In EpiData Analysis I would like to create a new variable which will be the number of days between two dates which I have collected in my EpiData dataset. I have started with "define" and the name of the new variable and the new variable will be a numeric variable of length 4. i.e: define smeartoreg1 #### However, I am having difficulty with the code for defining the number of days between two existing dates and would appreciate some advice on this. I think I am making a simple mistake that can easily be fixed. Many thanks. Kind regards, Kerri

Hello everyone Just to share my experience with you. As you know I had a problem reading my rec file in epidata analysis.We finally solved the problem after my colleague went through all the records (1065) in excel sheet. We found that one numeric field was initially entered in a wrong way, something that epidata entry accepted it when we imported the data from excel into epidata.

Skip and fill
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 30 May '12

30 May '12

Will there be some advanced skip and fill routines in future versions of epidatamanager. For instance I work currently on a household survey where I ask about livestock. V16a Number of cattle V16b Number of goats V16c Number of sheep Etc. V17a Number of productive female cattle V17b Number of productive female goats V17c Number of productive female sheep Etc. V18a Value of cattle V18b Value of goats V18c Value of sheep Suppose V16a equals "0" or is "SYSMIS" V17a and V18a should be system missing. I could not find it in the current version. Regards, Aiso

Hi Hans This also doesn't work. I also exported the file, 1065 records, into excel and when I tried to copy and import it into epidata analysis immediately, the software shut down immediately.

iPad, Android

Dear all, I just changed from the legacy Epidata to Epidata manager. It took a while to get used to the new philosophy, but I find it more easy to use compared to the legacy version. And I see clearly more development in this aspect. My question is whether you will develop iPad or Android versions of the programme. Initially it should be for the Epidata Client only, since by using tablet computers you could remove the need for purely data-entry staff. Regards from Kabul, Aiso Vos

Are there any records in your rec file that are marked for deletion? I had EpiData Analysis stall on me when it tried to read a rec file with a deleted record. I used the 'pack file' function in EpiData to get rid of the records that were marked for deletion. After that it worked fine. I suppose you could also undelete these marked records, but then they will show up in your analysis. Rod

merging of files
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi there, I am in the process of merging files in EpiData Analysis. I am looking for syntax that would allow me to keep all the records in the file not just the records that are in common in file1 (individual information) and file2 (visit information). File 2 contains only information of those that are already included in File1. For example, file1 has a 100 records and file2 has 10. One person has 5 visits and 5 others have one record. The merged file ideally includes all records from file1 and file2 (104 records). I have tried several options and failed as there are duplicate ID's. Example: close logclose read "C:\file1.rec" merge id /file="C: \file2.rec" /table savedata "C:\file3.rec " /replace I am looking forward to hear how I can resolve this issue. Thanks, Renate

Comment Legal and Type Comment commands + One bug in EntryClient v1.1
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Dear Jens, I want to bring to your kind attention the following matter. Comment Legal and Type Comment commands in the Epidata Entry preserved the 40 charaters lengh (continued from EPI6 DOS era) of Type Comment varible to recive the seleted lables. However with Manager v1.1, EntryClient v1.1, this limitation should be removed. In this era of large LCD monitors, it should be possible to have longer (possibly 100 or more characters) Type Comment varibles to accomodate longer lables such as ICD 10 codes. Is it possible One Bug – in the EntryClient v1.1, when programme settings dialog box is opened and necessary changes made, the EntryClient hangs and programme requires termination with Ctrl-Alt-Del. I have tested it on diffrerent PCs (Win XP). Thanks for the new Epidata Analysis. With regards, Dr. Shavinder Singh

EpiData Manager bugs - Request for assistance.

Hi, I am also experiencing the "out of memory" problem when trying to define value labels. I am using Windows 7 (64), and Manager version 1.0.0.0. It is obviously not a question of memory: I am using a new computer with a lot of memory, and trying a new, very simple, data entry form. Any suggestion for solving the problem? Thanks!

Version 1.1 of Manager and EntryClient release
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Today we have released new versions of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient. As with the first public release of Manager and EntryClient, this release has been packed in an installer which should work for Mac, Windows and Linux. The changes made are in short: * An issue with saving project files where pathnames/filename contained non-ASCII characters. * Fixed a number of bugs related to importing data. * Fixed a number of bugs related to saving colour settings in EntryClient. The updated versions are available from the download page on http://www.epidata.dk The release is part of the new principle, where a given new version first is placed as a beta version on the testing page and then moved to a public release on the download page if no problems show up. Therefore the v1.1 placed on the download page today is the same as the beta version placed for about a week on the testing page. On the testing page you will then find two versions: a. the next version to be released in general (such as v1.1) b. The current development (alpha) version, which you can consider a temporary "how far is the development currently" - users testing obviously must recognise that changes will occur during development. In all cases do not use the versions on the testing page for production work - only to influence development and test whether future releases have solved the problems identified. Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen, Jens M. Lauritsen. EpiData Association.

Reading and writing in EPIDATA ANALYSIS V 2.2.2.178
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

22 feb 2012 Hello Jens and Kirsten, Working with this new Epidata Analysis (V 2.2.2.178) I found the following oddities: Reading files: .EPZ files went OK .EPX files were not accepted, the files were made by the latest MANAGER program from an imported normal RECfile. Writing files: An .EPZ file was subsequently saved with SAVEDATA into a .RECfile. This recfile was well accepted and loaded in EpidataAnalysis and also in ANALYSIS from EPI6, and also in ENTERX from EPI6, but the structure of the file was very strange: In each record a lot of space was added at the end of the record. This extra space did not hamper using the file. Also this was not accounted for in the filesize in the file system of my WINDOWS XP (SP 3). have a good day, Louk Meertens.

Merge & Relate issue
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Good morning to all the list, I'm experiencing a problem with my own epidata questionnaire setup, defined as follows: MENU.qst - Q1.qst ----Q1_1qst - Q2.qst MENU is just a initial menu that allows the user to select the questionnaire they want to enter or edit. Depending on entered number, the user is redirected using a IF…ELSE construct, like this: IF selection = 1 THEN RELATE code q1 1 ENDIF IF selection = 2 THEN RELATE code q2 1 ENDIF In MENU.qst, Q1.qst and Q2.qst there is a key, defined in each case as KEY UNIQUE 1, while Q1_1 is related to Q1 using the same key as Q1, but is defined as KEY 1. When I try to merge together Q1 and Q2 everything goes fine, but when I try to export the data in Excel format the process exits with an error about the newly generated checkfile. In particular, the problem lies in the fact that the key in the new checkfile is defined simply as KEY 1, and not as KEY UNIQUE 1. However, to relate Q1 to Q2 needs the key to be defined as UNIQUE. I don't see any reason why while merging the new checkfile defines the key as not unique, since the codes are still unique also in the merged file. There is any workaroud for this? Thank you, Dario Vianello

help with double data entry in EpiData
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

This is a question about double data entry in EpiData : We commonly use EpiData to do double data entry. We use Tools > Prepare Double Entry Verification and select the field ID for matching records. When we open the *_dbl file for data entry, a box usually opens stating 'double data entry verification mode / data compared with *.rec / compared by Field ID'. What does it mean when that box does not open ? Are we simply entering records into the _dbl file without comparing fields from the *.rec file ? Recently we have experienced the box opening *and* the box NOT opening when selecting the same _dbl file for data entry. How can we know for certain that all records in the _dbl file have been verified - even when the box does not open. Thanks in advance.

First alpha release of Manager and EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Dear List. As we told in a previous mail, we are moving towards a new schedule for releasing our programs. This move has been completed today with the first release of our development branch for Manager and EntryClient. As stated, these releases are experimental versions of the programs and should not be used for "real" data in an everyday production. However we do encourage you to download the programs, test the new features and give us feedback on what you think is missing, not working etc. The alpha relases are placed for download in a seperate section on the testing <http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha> page of out website. There is a link for both EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient which list the added features, not already included in the stable/beta releases. Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen, Jens M. Lauritsen EpiData Association

Submission of variable name
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hello Torsten & Jens, Thanks for the beta version release in this month.I have some few submission for the new epi data entry software. 1. Currently it is difficult to have the variable name appear on the screen as compared to old version EpiData. where for instance want to design a screen like: Qid Questionnaire ID Q1 Gender of respondent. With this current one, the variable name does not appear only the variable label. Is it possible to include check box in the basic menu to include the variable name, instead of the current form. 2. Is it possible to have a function to make a screen design in a roster format, so that if you are capturing data for household you can design the screen as you see it. eg. Name Age Sex. Household member 1 2 3 4 . . 10. With this function, it will make capturing data in table format easy. Hoping to read from you soon, as we test the beta version V1.1.1.

New Entry Client and Manager versions
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

When will there be new releases for Entry Client and Manager for Mac? I think it's great that there are two seperate programs now, but I miss some of the functionalities of EpiData Entry (lookup in one .rec file while working in another and coding an integer as key unique through the GUI). I hope anybody knows!? -- Kind regards, Remco La Rivière **

New test versions of Manager and EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

Dear List. We have released a new test releases of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient. Since we released version 1.0 of Manager and EntryClient a number of issues have been raised by users. We have addressed most of these issues and we encourage you to download, test and give your feedback to the list on whether you find the issues resolved or not. In addition to these bug fixes, we are planning for a new release schedule of our programs. This is because we wish to reflect our development cycle in how we release the programs. What does this mean? For most parts: not much. But it gives us a possiblity to release updates faster and respond quicker to new reported issues. It also gives those of you who wishes to see the latest and greatest features being developed right now, a chance to test and try the programs in an early alpha stage. The release of software is devided into three stages (show here in reverse development order): 1) Stable: This is the version we have tested, tried and generally consider to be stable for for production/read projects. If a bug is reported finding the cause and fixing it has highest priority in the development. This will be available for general download on http://www.epidata.dk/download.php 2) Beta: This version is based on the stable version, but with reported bugs from the stable version fixed. Usually no new features are included. This will be available for general download on http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php 3) Development/Alpha: This version is a direct copy of what is being developed at the moment. There is NO guarantee this version will be backward compatible and could break other dependancies. However, this gives you as a user the oppertunity to try out the latest and greates features we are developing at the moment. Although this is in general considered an unstable release, we do still aim for it to be working at all times (and hopefully backward compatible.) Todays release is a Beta release and hence is placed in the testing page <http://epidata.dk/testing.php> of our website. If no major bugs are reported we will release the this beta version as a stable release in a short period of time. Changes from version 1.0 (Stable) to 1.1.1 (Beta): Manager and EntryClient: * Fixed bug where non-US path/filenames causes save/load errors on Windows OS. * Fixed bug where config file failed to save on non-US Windows OS. * Fixed bug where version information in XML file was incorrect (was 0 should be 1). * Fixed bug where using jumps with boolean field would cause error on load of file. * Fixed bug where saving data on rare occations could create invalid XML syntax in .epx file. Manager: * Fixed two bugs where program could cause access violation when closing a project. * Fixed bug where importing data files could cause crash. * Fixed bug in importing .rec/chk files, where value part of a valuelabel was surrounded by quotes (") * Added import of floating-point valuelabels from .rec/chk files. EntryClient: * Auto calculated fields did not mark a record as modified * Fixed bug in search where clicking "Find" did not find any records. * Fixed bug where colours chosen in settings were not saved. * Fixed bug where "recent files" were not case sensitive on Linux and Mac OS X. * Changed default colours for active field. * Changed search List/Find to not include initial value of Repeat/DefaultValue field. (Result is that clicking Ctrl+L on a new record gives a complete list of the dataset) Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen. Jens Lauritsen.

RE: [EpiData-list] problems in the installation

Hi Claudio, Is this line: "c:\Documents and settings\Claudio\Configurações locais\Dados de aplicativos\\epidataentryclient\epidataentryclient.cfg" exactly what you got from the software error message window? If so, it could be because Epidata doesn't support accents such as " õ " in the path to the file (or doesn't support the double back-slah " \\ " ??) Perhaps could you try saving your projet directly under "c:\Documents and settings\Claudio\" Best YMP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yves MARTIN-PREVEL, Epidemiologist, MD, MSc, PhD UMR204 'Nutripass' IRD/Montpellier2/Montpellier1 Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) BP 64501 - 911, avenue d'Agropolis 34394 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 (France) yves.martin-prevel(a)ird.fr Tel: +33(0)4.67.41.61.68 (Caution!

Suggestions for Analysis
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hello, Good year 2012 for Epidata members I have three suggestions about plans to improve Analysis : 1- Command "freq" : by default or with a new /"x", to sort ascending to even negative numbers or "0" number. With /sa ou others, sometimes, results of "freq" are mixed.. 2- Command "lifetable" : P50 (median) is sometimes false for little size of sample. 3- Command "scatter" : like with Epi-Info Dos, "/r", after scatter, was useful for the line of linear regression. Why not in Epidata Analysis ? Thank you for your work. Bernard Branger, Nantes, France (teacher of EPIDATA...)

Today's date issue
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hello I encountered a strange issue with today's date. The relational database looks like this: 1 parent file (Demographics) and 3 child files (midwife, 48-hour and 2-week) Each file includes today's date and worked well until I opened the file this morning and today's date is stuck on "30/12/2011". I tried to: * include a new today's date and the date is not automatically filled-out * delete today's date -save it - open rec file - close and add today's date to the qes-file - still today's date isn't filled out. If I create a qes file with only today's date included then the rec file does produce the correct today's date (03/01/2012). I asked program staff to enter one record and today's date updated itself to 03/01/2012. I am glad that this happened, however, I am not sure if this is a temporary or a permanent fix. Have you encountered a similar issue? If so, do you know what the problem might be and how I can solve this problem? Thanks, Renate
