Unfortunately there is no way to programmatically access the CAPI text. However, you can get it in XML format if you want. To do this, go to the CSPro installation folder and run the tool ExportXMLMetadata. You can then select the QSF file that contains your CAPI text and you can export it to XML fo...

Hey Emily, Can you clarify exactly what you're trying to do. It's a bit hard for me to understand without seeing your code. Might the endgroup statement work for your purposes, something like: PROC FIRST_FIELD_ON_SECOND_ROSTER preproc if curocc () > totocc (HL000) then endgroup ; endif ;

This sounds strange. You might consider posting your application to this board so that we can look at it, or you can email it to me: gregory.martin@census.gov.

Is it possible that your application has an OnKey function which is overriding some of the numeric keypad keystrokes?

Are you trying to avoid using another statistics package? Doing what you want would be quite easy if you exported the data to SPSS, Stata, or SAS formats. Otherwise there is no really easy way to do this (despite it seeming like a very easy task). You could write logic to do this, using the getlabel...

There is no way to do this for every alpha field. You will have to do something similar to what Arshad mentioned, where you override the OnKey function and specify the fields where you don't want numeric values entered. Something like this: function OnKey(keystroke) OnKey = keystroke; if getsymbol (...

I suspect that there are two problems here: 1) You are executing the code in the postproc of ALPHAFIELD_ACT1. Don't you want to run it before you get to the field? 2) CSPro isn't entirely consistent between when arrays are 0-indexed and when they are 1-indexed. The setvalueset function requires the ...

The insert/delete functions are tricky. You don't use the record name but instead the "group" name, which you can find by looking at your form tree. It'll be similar to the record name, but with some numbers or letters added after it. For example, if you are writing a batch application and...

If your "don't know" value is 888, then all of your fields will have to be at least three digits to store that code. Due to the fixed-length nature of CSPro data files, each item must be as wide as the maximum value that will be stored in the field. Often people have different codes for fi...

This is a compile-time setting though. That means that you can't switch from system to operator controlled modes while the program is running.
