Re: [EpiData-list] Worked examples of EpiData Analysis: command line

There is no / before the if This is a case of EpiData having somewhat simpler and more natural syntax. The / is reserved for options.

So:

list idno sr if idno < 10

There is only one option with list (/no to not show record numbers), so:

list idno sr /no if idno < 10

Syntax for this use of IF is in the command reference under "temporary selection"

The error messages with syntax problems are sometimes misleading.
