Automatic Unique Identifier and Double Entry Verification Mode
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Dear Listers, I wanted to do data validation using the Double Entry Verification mode, but when I used an automatically generated unique identifiers for the records it could not prompt even when there was discordance. What is the solution?

Dear Jammie, I tried copying a pair but it required re-arraging the check file. I thought there was another way out. Thank you! Kizito.

Combine 2 or more rec files together
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Dear members of theEpiData-Mailing list, I do my first steps with EpiData so please be tolerant with my disability. I just made some data entry when I recognized that I forgot to write down a variable in the qes-file. My way to handle the problem is to write a new qes-file than a new rec-file and start the data entry again from the beginning. But this can't be the accurate way, right? In your help-area I saw this hint here, but I really don't know how to find "Analysis" and I don't know, whether I can use this hint for my problem... /Richard, // //You can use Analysis to merge the files. It's easy to do manually: // //// //cd c:\directory with the files // //read file1 // //append file2 // //append file3 // //* etc // //savedata mergefile // //close // //// //If your file names are always the same, you can put those commands into // //a .pgm file to do this. // /// It would be very great if you can answer me my question, thank you very much in advance! Some of my colleagues said that I can combine several rec-files by exporting them to SPSS and than copy and paste the content - I hope you can recommend me an easier way!

Dear Listers, I wish to validate two files but leave out one field which obviuosly has different entries since they identify the Data Entrants. How do I leave out a field from the validation process?

Data validation using the same file
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi, This may sound silly but I feel that I need to report this. When I tried to do the double entry validation using one single file (i.e. I selected one epx file twice for the purpose of validation), EpiData Manager did not prevent me to do this. It produced a report which, of course, has no discrepancy. I tried this on both EpiData Manager (v1.5.0.10) and (v1.4.2). Both gave me the same result. Below is an excerpt of the validation report I just created showing validation was attempted using the same epx file. ======================================== Report: Double Entry Validation Report. Created: 2013-08-31 04:40:35 ======================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------ File 1: C:\Users\Zaw Myo Tun\Documents\EpiData\examples\sample.epx File 2: C:\Users\Zaw Myo Tun\Documents\EpiData\examples\sample.epx ------------------------------------------------------------------ Best wishes, Zaw
