Are you using a beta version of 7.3? There was a problem with line numbers not matching in an early version but we thought that we fixed it for the final release. If you're using the released version, can you send us this application and we'll fix it.

Another option is to move your .pen file to where the .pff is. Then you have to change the paths in the PFF, but many of the ones that you're using in logic should work. The reasoning behind this change was that, prior to 7.3, some relative paths were based off of the application directory and some ...

That file gets created with any sync operation. Look for it here:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\CSPro

Is your .pen file being created correctly? That is, check your folder for "survey menu.pen." Is it there? If so, then I would check the sync.log file (located on your machine here: %AppData%\CSPro\sync.log). That should give you information about the deployment process that can help troubleshoot thi...

I am assuming FNAME and DFNAME are consecutive fields. There is a CSPro bug whereby if you skip from one field to the field after it, and then reenter the previous field, that you get the error message that you see. We have fixed this in CSPro 7.3, which will likely be released next week. However, f...

The current implementation only allows you to loop through cases in indexed order. You can change things to go in descending order: https://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/set_access_statement.html If you really needed access to the sequential order, you can use the sqlquery function, but I wouldn't s...

I can't reproduce your problem. In CSPro 7.1, I created a batch program that exports multiple records to multiple files in Stata format. Every time I run the program it recreates all of the files, which is expected based on your description. Then I ran this program in both CSPro 7.2 and CSPro 7.3, a...

I will add this on the list of feature requests, though I am not sure how high we will prioritize this. The workaround now is to create separate dictionaries for each worksheet and then, in the CSPro designer, copy each record from each dictionary and paste it into one combined dictionary. I underst...

What exactly are you trying to do? Excel to CSPro will work with data on multiple worksheets. As long as the data is in sorted order, you can combine data on multiple worksheets. The only restriction is that the data for each record must be on one worksheet. That means that you can have a PERSON wor...

If you're using a batch program, it will use the dictionary associated with that when generating the .csdb file. The server dictionary will be used when you use Data Viewer to download a file from scratch (because there is no other dictionary to use at that point).
