Checkbox with multiple response

[samdyk]

Hi CSPro Users,

I design a form and want to use checkbox on but it cant get more than 9 answers. My questions is

What is your occupation? Multiple Responses

Value Label
1 Student
2 Teacher
3 Seller
4 Taxi Driver
5 Accountant
6 Designer
7 Technician
8 Chef
9 Waiter / Waitress
10 Government Employee
88 Others

I set record item as alpha and 10 length. but it won't show as checkbox if i keep 10 & 88 option. if i keep only 1-9 option it working fine.

What should i do to fix it? i try to search in this forum but not see answer.

Thanks
Samdy

The length of the checkbox variable must be greater or equal to the number of responses that the user is allowed to select. Since you have 11 options you will need to increase the length of the variable. Note that using a 2 digit code in a checkbox is a bit complicated (search on this forum for checkbox and you will see many discussions about it). I would recommend using A and B for the last two options instead of 10 and 88 to keep all your codes one digit. If you want to use two digits then you will need to make all your codes two digits ('01', '02', '03'...) and double the length of the variable - length 22 in your case to accommodate 11 options.

N * 2 increases the length and ready
