1. Updated version 1.4.4.2 (Manager and EntryClient) (epidata-list@lists.umanitoba.ca)

Message: 1 Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2014 11:35:34 GMT From: epidata-list@lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: [EpiData-list] Updated version 1.4.4.2 (Manager and EntryClient) To: epidata-list@lists.umanitoba.ca Message-ID: 1391772934141.18174.41288@webmail6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
An updated version of Manager and EntryClient is now available from the Http://www.epidata.dk/download.php page
Following the major release last week it turned out that the following errors existed:
1. Handling long path names on some Windows variants (Windows 7 in particular) - and also in some other situations. 2. Export to Stata created to a certain extent faulty files - in particular on Windows 32 bit versions. 3. Setup of where backup files with date added to the name are saved. (the release 1.4.4.0 did not save in the correct path).
Additionally we have clarified captions and texts to make sure:
A. Double Entry in Manager and EntryClient is NOT simultaneous entry with compare during entry. But instead separate entry with control after full entry in second file.
B. Specification of Compare Duplicate Files (was validate duplicate files) - in which field by field is compared btw the two files based on key variables indicated.
Data Content Validation - which will control a given file for internal consistency in accordance with specifications in that file. E.g. if values included conform to all range or value labels are
Renaming Fields etc. On the project detail part in Manager you may now rename all fields, sections and headers sequentially from the top, such that fields are e.g. V1 to V34
The errors above were found while I was teaching a class of 30 ph.d. students using various versions of Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.

As part of the course I am doing just now, there are a number of podcasts under way. So the question is by no means malplaced. I have not decided whether it is a complete recording or just minor parts. I tend to draw a lot on the blackboard, so it is very flexible and dynamic - and therefore depends a lot of the specific course. But obviously it can be recorded for general access - I will think about a technical solution.
I will tell more about that and add updated instruction materials in about a month, when the course is completed.
I am also sure that the course will reveal some details of "insufficient function" or need for minor adaptations. So even though we have released now 1.4.4.2 for general use it is still important that all users discuss on this list. The number of possible combinations of operation systems (windows, linux, mac) and the versions of each of these make for quite many possible bugs, that we have had no chance to capture in the in-house testing.
