Hi everyone.
I'm trying to make the ID variable sequencial. It has 3 digit and identifies the household. The data entry will be on android.
The problem is this option is deativated on field properties window.
Thanks

PROC ID
preproc
if demode() = add then
if visualvalue(ID) = notappl then // this is the first case in the data file
ID = 1;
else // this is the second, third, etc. case in the data file
ID = visualvalue(ID) + 1;
endif;
