Good morning dear team
My question is the following:
* Can a case be blocked once completed ???
that is, that the pollster can not re-enter the survey / completed case
It would be very helpful if you could do that,
Thank you !!

Dear
thanks for the suggestion
I tried it but the logic is to not be able to eliminate cases
but what I am looking for is that the pollster can not re-enter the case once it is completed in order to avoid manipulation of the data after it is completed.

Dear
I found a way to block the modification of cases
but this is in general, it blocks me both full and partial cases
and what I need is for you to block only the complete cases

Hi juan pablo,
I have an idea to try to accomplish what you want.
It requires two steps:
First you have to create a variable on your survey dictionary, for example, "RECORD_STATUS" as Alpha Data Type.
On this variable you will store a word like, "COMPLETED".
This will take place at the Last field of your survey, and have to be set the first time you enter or create a survey record.
Something like:
Code: Select all
PROC MY_LAST_FIELD
If demode() = 1 then
RECORD_STATUS = "COMPLETED";
Endif;
Then for the second step you have to place a validation on the First field of your survey.
Code: Select all
PROC MY_FIRST_FIELD
Preproc
If RECORD_STATUS = "COMPLETED" Then
errmsg("User Cannot Modify Completed Records");
stop(1);
Endif
But hope this could help.
Regards.

jfigueroa's suggestion is a good one. To extend it, and to eliminate the use of an alpha, you can:
1) In the postproc of your level (which is triggered at the end of the case), set the flag.
2) In the preproc of your level (which is triggered at the beginning of the case), check the flag.
For example:
PROC SURVEY_QUEST
preproc
if visualvalue(COMPLETED) = 1 then
errmsg("User Cannot Modify Completed Records");
stop(1);
endif;
postproc
COMPLETED = 1;
