Dear all,
I am using Epi Info 7 to create form for a survey data entry.
The survey contains a general section and sections specific for male, female and children.
The form has 8 pages and I used the following codes so that entry for children will skip the irrelevant pages.
Page [P1 Demographic]
After
//add code here
IF FormCoding = "Children" THEN
GOTO 7
ELSE
GOTO 2
END-IF
However, when I fill up the form, entries for children do not skip Page 2 - 6.
I have tried variations of the codes above, and have used similar codes on different pages.
However, none of them worked.
The variable "FormCoding" is created using as Option.
Have also tried creating it as a legal value but also did not seem to work.
What could be the possible reasons?
Is there any rule which I have accidentally omitted?
Please advise.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Jose Angel,
Thanks for your response!
I want to create 3 skip patterns like the one I mentioned in my previous message.
I tried using the name of the variable instead of the page number, and removed "ELSE".
For example:
Field N7EmploymentStatus
Click
//add code here
IF FormCode = 2 THEN
GOTO 7
END-IF
End-Click
End-Field
Somehow the code above worked but the this following one does not.
Field Forwhat1
After
//add code here
IF FormCode = 2 THEN
GOTO 6
END-IF
End-After
End-Field
The difference between them is that "n7EmploymentStatus" variable is an option (only one correct answer) whereas "Forwhat1" is a free text box.
Any thoughts are very appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Ka Keat
