[EpiData-list] Creating three variables from one

[epidata-list at lists.umanitoba.ca]

Dear Ziad:

I am not sure I understood you correctly, but if yes, this is what you 
would do:

QES file:

testdate   <dd/mm/yyyy>
dd         ##
mm         ##
yyyy       ####
sex        <A>


and CHK file:

testdate
  MUSTENTER
  after entry
   dd=day(testdate)
   mm=month(testdate)
   yyyy=year(testdate)
  end
end

DD
  NOENTER
END

MM
  noenter
END

YYYY
  NOENTER
END

SEX
  MUSTENTER
END


Regards,

Hans
