The
ispartial function determines, for data entry input dictionaries whether a case was opened from a partial case, and for external dictionaries where the case is currently marked as a partial save. By default the function looks at the case loaded by the main data entry input dictionary, but an optional argument,
dictionary_name, allows you to determine the partial save status of cases in external dictionaries.
The function returns a logical value of 1 (true) if the case was opened from a partial case or if it has been partially saved during the data entry session and 0 (false) otherwise.
