Dear Jens,
Thank you for your reply. I asked this question since in days long gone (late eighties), this option was possible in SPSS/Data Entry for DOS.
Of course it depends on the design philosophy of a questionnaire. Mine is that the questionnaire is central and that the data entry should follow the questionnaire. Your philosophy is that the data entry is the crucial aspect and that the design of the questionnaire should follow the data entry form.
But perhaps you can think of introducing these options in future versions.
Regards,
Aiso

Aisa asked on skip and fill. With the current version you can do what you like by changing the sequence to:
V16a Number of cattle
(then set jumping to v17 if v16a is = 0) v16b Number of productive female cattle
v17a Number of goats
V17b Number of productive female goats
..... etc.

Will there be some advanced skip and fill routines in future versions of epidatamanager.
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.
