One thing, to address the issue of alphas in tabulation. You cannot tabulate alpha variables, but you can run frequencies on them. When you click Run in the Tabulate Frequencies tool, you'll see that a group of files called CSFrqRun are created in the folder where your dictionary is located. If you ...

lls and hannesrr both present reasonable ways to check to see if a value is duplicated in a repeating item. There is no CSPro function that can automatically return to you whether or not there was a duplicate across the items. You could use hannesrr 's code but you would have to change the code to ...

One way you could do this is to do all of the calculations in minutes. For example, if your variables are M13_H (hour) and M13_M (minute), you could get the difference in minutes with the following code: M15 = low ( 99 , ( M14_H * 60 + M14_M ) - ( M13_H * 60 + M13_M ) ); That assumes that the interv...

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?

Under the text entry box where you enter your responses, click on the "Upload attachment" tab and then you can upload your image.

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 ...
