Hi, If you browse several old posts you will see that it's really not recommended to use numbers as response choices for multiple select questions (especially if you have more than 9 choices). Right now 1 and 10 are being read as 0 selected once and 1 selected twice, hence the error. You can use let...

Hi Josh, Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know you could do that. However I'm now coming up against a different problem. Suppose my occurrence labels were 1=chairs, 2=tables, 3=lamps, 4=other, and I allowed the user to specify what 'other' is, for example, desks. Then by using %getocclabel%, the ...

Hi, I have used getocclabel() in a roster to capture the occurrence label and display it the CAPI text box, but sometimes it displays values for the previous occurrence if I decide to move back through the roster. So if my roster "SECTION_A" had a list of household items such as 1=chairs, ...

Thanks for the suggestion! I think you meant length(strip(CHECKBOX)) instead of strip(length(CHECKBOX)) below.

Hi, I've been using CSPro for a couple of years to design data entry applications but I am only now realizing that I don't know how to automatically concatenate and export data. By automatically I mean not manually clicking on concatenate, selecting files, etc. Is it possible to write some code so t...

thanks! that is really helpful, because I've faced this problem (of being in the preproc) and i didn't know about visualvalue()!

Thanks Josh!! I had actually tried a variation of what you suggested and it didn't work, which is why I was looking for the demode() function. I tried using if statements and the universe function but neither seemed to work... PROC IDVAR preproc universe special(IDVAR); $ = tonumber(sysparm("ID...

Hi, I am using a menu/launcher to direct my enumerator to one of 8 questionnaires. In most of the 8 questionnaires, the case id will be a 5 digit ID which I have them enter in the launcher. I used the sysparm() function to pass this 5 digit ID onto the other questionnaires when the pff launches. I e...
