Hello, I am in CAPI mode and I would like to display the name of the respondent by asking him his age.
Example: Jonh, what is your age?
What are the settings to do?

You can refer to other fields by surrounding them in percents. If you name variable is called P01_NAME, you could write:
%P01_NAME%, what is your age?

You should post your application here, or send it to cspro@lists.census.gov, and we can take a look at it.

In the value set add two options: the range 0-115 (with the label "0-115", the from value of "0"and the to value "115) and the single value "Don't know" (label "Don't know", from value "999" and to value blank). Then on the form, right-click on the field, choose field properties and set the capture type to "combo-box".

You can see how this was done in the Simple CAPI application which is in the CSPro examples folder (C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\CSPro\Examples 7.1\1 - Data Entry\Simple CAPI)

Good! thanks you very much!

A last question, is there a platform to test and view the questionnaires in real time on cspro?

We usually do most of our testing by the application on Windows desktop by running the application from CSPro designer and then do final tests on Android.
