Validating Alpha Fields

Post by sah »

Dear Team,
It was great to include the Validate alpha fields which is useful for multiple response question.However, I am experiencing a problem if you use this function it gives you a warning
warning :Out of range ! Please use a valid value for Variable A
.

Is anyone facing same problem. Is this a bug in which the team can take a quick look at.

Thanks
Sah

Validate alpha fields only works for single response alpha items. It doesn't work for multiple response alpha items. In other words it does not work for checkboxes.

Hi,

You may use utility like in
POSTPROC;
if length(strip($))<1 then errmsg("At least one option should be selected"); reenter; endif;

like this you can validate other codes if you are keying on windows; can check validitiy of codes as well, repeatation as well, but if it is for android then repeatation and validity is not require because user will not able to select out of valuesets given for variable..
