Most of the problems we are facing here with our surveys are produced by the misuse of the Variable Tree. Interviewers want to be very "smart" and "dribble" the application, doing the application navigation by themselves. By doing that, sometimes they are provoking data inconsist...

I´m using a batch program with syncconnect and syncdata to download the data from the server. And I´m using the Deploy to update the CSEntry application in the server, but I did not know if this deploy updated also the dictionary in the server. So, as far as I understand, I´m safe, right? I can chan...

Suppose I need to change the valueset of a variable, inserting a new category. I change the dictionary and then I deploy the application to be used by the interviewers. So far so good. But... I already have a bunch of questionnaires in the server, in the csdb file, that used the old dictionary. What...

I was trying to edit the attached pff file, changing the extension of the output file to TEXT. In the editor it said it was changed, I saved the file, but when I tried to execute it (inside a runner), it had not changed the extension to TEXT, it was still CSPRODB, and, of course, I got an error mess...

You need to close the program (it will still ask to s...

When using a text file (.dat) to store the cases, it was possible to add variables to the end of each record in the dictionary. The new questionnaires using the new dictionary would have values for those new variables, whereas the old questionnaires already collected would have notappl for those new...

I have a very lengthy dictionary (attached). Record type 40 (D_MORADORES) has a maximum of 20 cases and it is 2862 bytes long. When opened in DataViewer, it takes forever to show a case (example attached). In DataViewer, if asked for Frequencies, it takes forever to show the dictionary for choosing ...

It worked!!
Thanks very much indeed.

I wanted to start an excel file from inside a cspro application. I´ve tried to use the execsystem but it does not execute the file, as in execsystem("ELSI_51_Controle_Coleta.xlsm"); If I put the whole path for the excel application in my machine it calls the excel, but this is not good eno...
