Hello CSPro users,

I've just wanna ask on how to get value label its on the attached images, what I want to get is the name of the illness but it seems the value came out is AB..so on. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated, Thanks in advance.

The getvaluelabel function isn't looking at the capture type (checkbox), so it's not formatting your checked options appropriately. You can do something like this in your question text: ~~GetCheckboxLabel()~~

And then add a user-defined function:

function string GetCheckboxLabel()
   
    string labels;
   
    do numeric ctr = 1 while ctr <= I1MULTI_VS1.codes.length()

        if ischecked(I1MULTI, I1MULTI_VS1.codes(ctr)) then

            // add a comma between each entry
            if labels <> "" then
                labels = labels + ", ";
            endif;
           
            labels = labels + I1MULTI_VS1.labels(ctr);

        endif;
       
    enddo;

    exit labels;

end;

Thank you Gregory Martin for replying to my problem and I am sorry it takes me long to reply, but it seems when I try to apply the code that you give me it return blank.

Greg is out this week so let me respond. I haven't used the codes and labels feature, but it should be working. In the interim, you can do this, which is working for me:

Thanks sherrell for the response.

Hi sherrell, I was just wondering it works on the first and second checkbox(e.g. Diabetes and Heart disease) but when I change the answer to another illness it would only display one illness or it would not display at all, what would I change for this to work on all checkbox.

I've made two passes.

In the first app, you can pass a pointer to a function that makes the evaluation, but you'll just need to create a function for each variable you want to analyze.

In the second app (v2, after consult with Greg ), you can pass a valueset in as a function argument. However since the variable is a string, we have to identify the valueset as being for a string, not numeric (as it expects by default).
