Step 2: Add a Case

(Exercise 4, Enter Data)
We will now type in the data for our first case (questionnaire). We will use a fictitious family of four.
  1. Type 1 then Enter to fill in the ID item. The next form will appear, showing the person roster.
  2. Type 48 in the Age field. The cursor will move to the Sex field.
  3. Type 3 in the Sex field. CSEntry will tell you this value is out of range, because it is not in the value set for Sex you created in your data dictionary.
  4. With the OUT OF RANGE message still showing, type 1. The message will go away and the cursor will move to the Marital status field.
  5. Continue typing in data for the family as shown below.
Some CSEntry tips:
  • You can move backward to the previous field using Shift+Tab, left arrow or up arrow.
  • You can move forward to the next field using Enter, Tab, right arrow or down arrow.
  • You can change a field by simply typing a new number into it.
  • You can erase a field using the space bar.
