CSPro Users Forum

You may want to review the CSPro documentation concerning logic. Your syntax is not valid CSPro syntax. You do not need to put quotation marks around variable names. "Count" also does not mean anything, and the skip statement works to move to a field, it cannot be used to make an assignmen...

Your code seems fine. Is it possible that you have a PFF file from previous testing still in the csentry folder and that that is what is showing?

Try deleting everything from the csentry folder and putting everything back on. Does it still show up?

Is so, send the PFF file to cspro@lists.census.gov.

You can do this, but this is mostly done by CSPro users who adopt the DHS (and I believe MICS) model of tabulation. There is no documentation about this in the CSPro helps. Unless anyone on the forum has done this and can help, you best option is to contact ICF to see if they have any documentation ...

There is no way to do this automatically. If you had some programming skills, you would read in the dictionary (.dcf) and write out the CAPI questions (.qsf) file. They are both text files, but this task would not be trivial.

If you go with the suggestion from jfigueroa, here is a comment on the logic. When extracting substrings, the second part after the colon is the number of characters requested, not the ending character. So you would write:

You'll have to provide more details about what you're interested in doing. The Getting Started Guide has information about repeating records:

CSPro is backwards compatible for the most part. Can you describe the problem that you're having? If you're using CSPro 7.0, can you regenerate the .pen file using CSPro 7.0? Still, even if you don't do that, CSPro 6.3 should run properly, with few exceptions.

Do you have the latest version of .NET? You can get the version used in the Excel to CSPro tool here:

Look at the Simple CAPI example, located here:

<your examples folder>\CSPro\Examples 7.0\1 - Data Entry\Simple CAPI

Look at PROC MAIN_LANGUAGE and see how it references the open-ended text field LANGUAGES_SPOKEN_OTHER.

You did indeed find the answer! That's a new feature in CSPro 7.0.
