1) The multiline text object would definitely be a useful addition to the language. We will add it to the list of possible additions, though it may not make the 5.0.1 release. I've definitely been annoyed at times when I have to create several text objects to simulate multiline text. 2) The radio bu...

You can use the curocc function like this: PROC Q145_CONTEXT postproc if curocc () = 4 then if not Q11B_ETATDOS = 2 then errmsg ( "This case has been saved as partial" ) and savepartial (); stop (); else errmsg ( "This case has been saved" ) endif ; endif ;

For those who are curious, this was a bug in CSPro that occurred when a user deleted the default form created for you when you create a data entry program, and then undid the deletion. This resulted in two forms with the same name being saved to the .fmf form file, which caused a problem when loadin...

We will probably put out one more beta release, either this week or next, and then we will put out the final public release sometime in July.

I misunderstood your initial problem. I thought you meant that CSEntry would not run using the beta version, but you really meant that the entry program did not start in Add mode. You can force this behavior by putting: StartMode=add In the .pff file. In general CSEntry will start in Add mode when c...

Do you have the most recent version? It works for me, with the beta release from May 4: http://www.csprousers.org/beta/cspro5beta_20120504.zip After running the program, I get the following PFF: [Run Information] Version=CSPro 4.1 AppType=Entry [DataEntryInit] Interactive=Ask OperatorID=ES StartMode...

Bob, I've never seen this message before. It could have something to do with the shared names, but I highly doubt it. If possible, can you send the application to me and I can take a look at it: gregory.martin@census.gov You might also test running the application in both operator- and system- contr...

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking how to refer to fields on one form using an ID that exists on another form. For example, you might have one roster: LINE_NUMBER, SEX, AGE And on another form, another roster: LINE_NUMBER2, EDUCATION, INCOME If, on the second roster, you want to...

Whenever you run a tool, a PFF file gets created with the settings that you have selected. These PFF files can be used for automating tasks, which is especially useful in production. Sometimes the files must be used along with a specification file. Of the programs you mentioned, concatenate runs onl...

As long as you've modified at least one field in your application, OnStop gets called when you use the X to close out of CSEntry. So once the "file modified" flag is set, OnStop will get called. Am I right in thinking that your tests clicking on the X were done without entering any data on...
