input data in selected fields
Dear members in the list
I have a database with about 2000 records, each one with 90 fields. I want to input information that is missing in fields 81 to 85. I would like to use an entry screen that shows me only field 81 to 90. This is because I have a chk file that has command that produce information in fields 86 to 90, based on the information I input in fields 81 to 85. Is it possible to do that to make a simplified entry screen to use only a fraction of the fields in the data base? I will appreciate your help

Dear Jose:
Perhaps one way to do it would be to export to an EpiData Rec file just the fields Unique identifier plus fields 81 to 85, then enter the data there, and when you are finished, merge the two files on the unique identifier in EpiData Analysis et voila.

Dear Jose,
I would put into the check file into the 1st variable before variable "Goto v81" and into the v85 in would put
AFTER ENTRY GOTO WRITE END
and it will close your record.
