I am currently preparing for a project. I have roster. I want the some information from the previous occurrence to be pulled in the current occurrence field of a certain variable. example variable (hhm_ethn(1)) whatever is entered for one or even if it was entered in the 3rd occurrence as long as I am using system mode and the value is pulled and the field is skipped or I protect the field, if i try to pull information from the skipped field or protected field the program will crash. I basically need system control mode while being allowed to keep information and skipped fields and also use the same skipped fields as reference for logic.

CSPro will not crash if you copy data from a skipped or protected field, though you do need to ensure there is data there to copy.

Do you want the skipped field to be on-path? You will if you want the data in that field to be written out to the case. In that instance you need to check in the field's preproc if there is data there and "skip" entry, or assign data to the cell; in either instance, you'll need to use the noinput command:

When copying data from a truly skipped field, you will need to use the visualvalue function:

Could you post what you've done so far so we could take a look?
