CSPro Users Forum

Sorry about that. I used to update the beta releases but I no longer have access to that site. That means that there was a delay updating the site, but the new version is up now.

In addition to what Arshad said, you can read the helps about this tool. They aren't complete (as you know, this is in beta), but there is a help document for "Creating a Dictionary From an Excel File." Press F1 from within the tool.

You can change whether or not the item is filled in and then set the field to protected if it is. Something like this: PROC FQ1 onfocus if visualvalue (FQ1( curocc ())) <> notappl then set attributes(FQ1) protect; else set attributes(FQ1) native; endif ;

The forum was down for a short while as we moved it from one server to another. Try this for your logic: PROC FQ1 preproc set behavior(FQ1) canenter( notappl ) on ( noconfirm ); // allow blanks on this field postproc if FQ1 = notappl then if curocc () = 1 then errmsg ( "Please entry at least on...

The getsymbol function will return the current field of data entry. From that you can get the record name with getrecord. You can use curocc to get the occurrence number.

I don't think you'll be able to get the label or occurrence label though.

If you think that something is wrong with your application, send it (or at least the CAPI file that ends with .qsf) to cspro@lists.census.gov. We can look to see what might be happening.

Arshad's advice is correct. That is why we added the "Add Items to Records" function. Because you can only edit entries, not add or delete them, that feature allows you to easily add the entries and then use "Paste All" to get the information from Excel.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this. Because text data files have no mechanism for storing metadata, we use the BOM to determine whether the file should be treated as a UTF-8 file.

Would it work for you to collect data and then you could have another tool strip the BOM from the file?

jkajiba: You should remove the ' characters around DeviceID and UID.

You can use the maketext function. For example:
