Hi everyone

I'm looking to write an edit batch that will be able to show me variables whose answers have been modified after the input has been completed.

How can I do this please

Hello,

There is nothing built in CSPro that keeps track of whether data is modified after initial input. You would have to create your own system for this. One method is adding new "parallel" dictionary variables to keep track of the modification status of other variables, although this can be unwieldy and lead to a large amount of overhead.

Hope this helps,
Justin
