Unfortunately, there is no way to write an application that can execute in both operator and system controlled modes, depending on something that happens in logic. What mode you run in has to be known when the program starts. Your best option may be to create a second data entry application, using t...

You can use an external dictionary along with the writecase function to write data to an external file. There is an example called "Using External Files & Forms" in the examples directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\CSPro 6.3\Examples).

We are working on an example that we can share that we will include with version 7. The systems we have helped build belong to the countries that we were working with so we are not able to share them. Perhaps other readers in the forum have examples that they can share in the meantime.

In surveys/censuses we have worked on we have implemented supervisor dashboards using CSPro menu programs. We have talked about building a general survey management system into CSPro but since the requirements for each survey and each organization are very different it is difficult to create a gener...

Since you are running this on existing data you should put the logic to add the individual number in a batch edit application. Run the batch edit application using the original data file as the input file and specify the name of a new file to use as the output file. Batch edit never modifies the inp...

I'm assuming that the individuals in each household are in record occurrences - i.e. you have one or more records in your dictionary that are repeated for each individual. If that is the case then you can add a new item to the record for the individual and fill it in using a batch edit program using...

CSPro doesn't support changing the format of the CSDiff output.

Definitely use array string instead of array alpha.

We see a lot of code that gets posted to this forum or sent to the cspro mailing list that still uses alpha variables in logic. For example: PROC GLOBAL alpha ( 50 ) name; In all but a few very rare cases you should instead string variables: PROC GLOBAL string name; The alpha logic variable is a rel...

We have not implemented logging on Android yet. This will come in a future release. For now you could implement your own logging using an external dictionary or filewrite.
