[EpiData-list] Date-illegal entry

13 Nov 2008

      Thank you for your response to my date question.
During entry, if the date field is not applicable to a certain record
(whereas I do not need to enter a date for that specific record, rather
skip it) what do I designate as my skip code. I did have -77, but when I
would enter that, it would say it was an illegal entry.
How do I write the code, so that a skip is -77, and it still be a legal
entry in some instances?
legdat
  RANGE 01/01/1900 31/12/2008
  LEGAL
    30/12/2009
    24/11/2008
  END
END
(somewhere in there, I need to put it a skip code)
Thank you for your time,

You cannot have illegal dates: 99, -77, 88 are not dates and if they 
were, they are not legal, there is no date that contains, e.g. "99".  A 
command for a legal date range and legal date values should look 
something like this (using European date format here):
legdat
  RANGE 01/01/1900 31/12/2008
  LEGAL
    30/12/2009
    24/11/2008
  END
END

Provided below is the syntax.  I've also made a few notes about the
error I am getting.  I have tried several times to fix this, but for
some reason EpiData is telling me it is illegal.

There is an example of this, based on the Danish CPR number on the 
Epidata web site: http://www.epidata.dk/examples.php
The example is in English & Danish, with an explanation in English.

You input the number as a single text field and then "take it apart" 
into its individual digits.
