it would be super nice IF:
[1] there was an option that could change the capture type of all variables from one type to another (w/in reason); for ex, I could change the default data capture type of all variables from "text" to "radio button". this would need to have some built-in checking such that it would only make the change if it made sense for that type of variable; for ex, variables with discrete value sets (i.e., male/female) could be set to radio buttons, but not continuous variables (e.g., age) or alpha fields. this would save a TON of time when setting up CAPI apps.
[2] a utility/function that could generate the QSF text from the dictionary variable labels; another huge time saver; the question text may not be perfect, but it could help immensely
[3] an "isCAPIon" function, so the data entry app knows whether i'm running it w/CAPI or not (useful when trying to establish a single app for either CAPI or non-CAPI usage)
[4] there's setvalue, setvalueset, getvalue, and ... where's getvalueset? TC & i were discussing this the other day
thnx guys; smg
