Hi Mark,
I can think of a couple of ways to go:-

1) If you want to store the value in the case data you could do the
following:-

Metadata(en-US, Question, label)
Q1 "Q1" categorical [1] {Yes,No};
Q2 "Q2" categorical [1] {Yes,No};
SectionNumber "Section Number" long;
End Metadata
Routing(Web)
SectionNumber=1
Q1.Ask()
SectionNumber=2
Q2.Ask()

Sub OnBeforeQuestionAsk(Question,IOM)
	 If (IOM.Questions["SectionNumber"].Response=1) Then _
		 Debug.MsgBox("Only appears before Q1")
End Sub

End Routing


2) Of if you wanted to use a temporary variable on the fly, you could
do something like this:-

Metadata(en-US, Question, label)
Q1 "Q1" categorical [1] {Yes,No};
Q2 "Q2" categorical [1] {Yes,No};
End Metadata
Routing(Web)
IOM.Info.User9=1
Q1.Ask()
IOM.Info.User9=2
Q2.Ask()

Sub OnBeforeQuestionAsk(Question,IOM)
	 If (IOM.Info.User9=1) Then _
		 Debug.MsgBox("Only appears before Q1")
End Sub

End Routing

Obviously this assumes you're not using I.User9 on the URL for this
survey.

I think the better option 1) would probably be more applicable as you
have the value stored in the case data.

Let me know if this helps
Kind regards
Rich (Wilson)

Hi,

Doing this is not advisable as it can be confusing especially if you
try to reuse variable names.  In general, global variables are seen as
a poor programming practice.  It would be better to use a metadata
question or to add a property with a value to the IOM.Properties
collection as part of OnInterviewStart to be accessible as a "global"
variable.

Dim myProp
Set myProp= IOM.Properties.CreateProperty()
myProp.Name = "VariableName"
myProp.Value = 0
IOM.Properties.Add(myProp)

Then, you can access the value of this property anywhere in your
routing or subs/functions with this syntax:

IOM.Properties["VariableName"]

However if you do still want to do this you can declare this as the
first line of your routing:

Option GlobalVariables

That will make routing dim variables accessible in subs/functions.

Thanks.

I am trying to find out how to set a global variable in my Dimensions
Script in the routing section using mrStudio.  I have declared a
variable, SectionNumber, using:

Dim SectionNumber

But I want to make this a global variable so that I can use it
throughout the script.  I've looked in the DDL documentation and found
little about declaring global variables outside of dms scripts.

What I'm trying to do is refer to a global variable in the
OnBeforeQuestionAsk Event -- not a question defined in the metadata
section.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Folks,
My first post, so apologies if I'm not following the right protocol
here :)

I don't have a fully tested solution for this, but I did put together
some conceptual code that would enable you to split a mrs script into
batches of x tables - stored in NumTablesInEachRun - export those to
Excel files and rename the sheets to the description of the table.

It's probably not the most efficient code and hasn't been fully
tested (I wish I had time for that), but perhaps it can help in
someway.

You need to build your table constructs into the subroutine
called 'TableConstruct'.

If anyone has time to take this and fine tune/modify it accordingly
and re-post that would be great.

Here's the example code:-

Dim TableDoc

Set TableDoc = CreateObject("TOM.Document")
TableDoc.DataSet.Load("C:\Program Files\SPSS
Dimensions\DDL\Data\Quanvert\Museum\qvinfo", "mrQvDsc")

TableConstruct(TableDoc)

' Set how many tables in each Excel Export
Const NumTablesInEachRun = 10

Dim NumRuns,EachRun
NumRuns = TableDoc.Tables.Count / NumTablesInEachRun

Dim EachPopulateString,PopulateString,TableNum,count

For EachRun = 0 to NumRuns
	 TableDoc.Tables.Clear()
	 count=0
	 TableConstruct(TableDoc)
	 PopulateString=""
	 For EachPopulateString = 1 to NumTablesInEachRun
		 TableNum=EachPopulateString+(EachRun *
NumTablesInEachRun)-1
		 If (TableNum < TableDoc.Tables.Count) Then
			 PopulateString=PopulateString+TableDoc.Tables
[TableNum].Name+","
		 End If
	 Next

	 Dim Tables
	 For each Tables in TableDoc.Tables
		 If (Find(PopulateString,Tables.Name+",")=-1) Then
TableDoc.Tables.Remove(Tables.Name)
	 Next

	 PopulateString=Left(PopulateString,Len(PopulateString)-1)
	 ' Populate the tables
	 TableDoc.Populate(PopulateString)

	 Dim xlApp,xlBook,xlSheet,x,SheetName,Description
	 set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

	 With TableDoc.Exports.mrExcelExport
	    .Properties["Interactive"] = False
	    .Properties["DisplayCharts"] = False
	    .Properties["OverwriteOutput"]=True
	    .Properties["LaunchApplication"] = False
	    .Properties["UseExcelStyles"] = True
	    .Export("C:\MR Examples\TOM\ExcelExport"+CText(EachRun)
+".xls")
	 End With

	 ' Rename Excel Sheets
	 xlApp.Visible = False
	 set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\MR
Examples\TOM\ExcelExport"+CText(EachRun)+".xls")
	 For x = 0 to xlApp.Worksheets.Count-1
		 set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets[x+1]
		 SheetName=xlSheet.Name
		 If (Find(SheetName,"Ch")<>-1) Then
			  On Error Resume Next
		 	  xlSheet.Name = CText(Left(TableDoc.Tables
[ReturnTableCount(xlSheet.Name)].Description,24)) + "-Chart"
		 	  If (Err.Number=-2146827284) Then
		 	 	 count=count+1
		 	 	 xlSheet.Name = CText(Left
(TableDoc.Tables[ReturnTableCount(xlSheet.Name)].Description,21))

		 	  End If
		 	  On Error Goto 0
		 Else
			  On Error Resume Next
		   	  xlSheet.Name = CText(Left(TableDoc.Tables
[ReturnTableCount(xlSheet.Name)].Description,24))
		   	  If (Err.Number=-2146827284) Then
		   	 	 count=count+1
		   	 	 xlSheet.Name = CText(Left
(TableDoc.Tables[ReturnTableCount(xlSheet.Name)].Description,21))
+ "("+CText(count)+")"
		   	  End If
		   	  On Error Goto 0
		 End If
	 Next
	 xlBook.Save()
	 xlBook.Close()
	 set xlBook=null
	 Set xlApp=Null
Next

Sub TableConstruct(TableDoc)
	 Dim objField
	 For Each objField in tabledoc.DataSet.MdmDocument.Fields
		 If objField.objectTypeValue = 0 Then
			 If objfield.datatype = 3 Then
				 tabledoc.Tables.AddNew ("Table" +
CText(TableDoc.Tables.Count), objfield.fullname + " * gender",
objField.label)
			 End If
		 End If
	 Next
End Sub

Function ReturnTableCount(xlSheet)

Hi David,

The following works for me in mrStudio (haven't had occasion to fully
test it since the Next button is usually positioned first in my
templates):

<SCRIPT>
   if (document.layers)
     document.captureEvents(Event.KEYDOWN);
     document.onkeydown = function (evt) {
     var keyCode = evt ? (evt.which ? evt.which : evt.keyCode) :
event.keyCode;
     if (keyCode == 13) {
       document.mrForm._NNext.click();
       return false;
     }
     else
       return true;
   };
</SCRIPT>

This assumes the Next button has the name "_NNext" in the rendered
HTML.

Best,
John

Currently, IE for Mac will submit the next button by default, while
IE for PC will submit the previous button by default. The reason is
that the Mac browser is instructed to search for and submit the last
button found on the page, while the PC browser is instructed to
search for and submit the first button found on the page. Again, this
is controlled by how browsers interpret/run HTML pages, and doesn't
have much to do with mrInterview.

Hey David,

I don't have code on hand for you but you could do the following.

1. Check the keyCode of the current onkeydown event
2. If if is the enter key (13) then auto submit the page using document.forms[0].submit() which should bypass the back button
3. You might want to disable this on text and password elements though - to do so, loop through the form elements, if it is text element apply an onkeydown event to cancel enter as a submit.  Don't for a textarea though as you want resps to hit enter in a textarea.

In theory then this should get you what you need because when the enter key is pressed outside of a textarea it should always submit the page.

Hope that helps some.

Tyler

One option that can help is to limit the number of tables that populate
at one time. This can be done by replacing your tDoc.Populate statement
with the example below. This does not completely solve the problem for
alall jobs, but I have found that it has made a difference for jobs
that are right on the edge of being able to run all at once or need to
be split. Note: I usually start by setting it to 10 at a time, but if
you still can't run all tables you can even try lowering it to 3. Keep
in mind also that closing additional programs (especially Excel) will
always help.

Dim iMaxPopTableNumber
iMaxPopTableNumber = 10

If iMaxPopTableNumber = 0 Then
      TDocument.Populate()
Else

	 Dim oPopTable
	 Dim iPopTableNum
	 Dim strPopTableNames

	 iPopTableNum=0
  	 strPopTableNames = ""

	 For Each oPopTable in TDocument.Tables
         iPopTableNum = iPopTableNum + 1
         If iPopTableNum = 1 Then

Hi Everyone-

 

Thanks for the info sent to this list and directly – I was looking for more of a gut check and an effort to get info that I can pass around internally.

 

After reviewing all the info out there, reading all the earnings call transcripts, etc….It is clear to me that SPSS is entirely stable, without question. 

 

I think it is more of an internal religious war going on with my company.   People rehashing old news from 2001 b/c they don’t want to switch away from software they already use or have invested heavily in.

It is like Pepsi vs. Coke… or Apple vs. MSFT ….or Mets vs. Yankees.   Everyone has a favorite. 

 

I’ve talked to a lot of people recently that are switching from confirmit to mrinterview due to what’s going on over there.  I suspect they’ll be going through what SPSS did several years ago (ISE) as they try to consolidate different codebases, etc.  It would seem to me that they’ll be distracted for a while as they rewrite the pulsetrain code from scratch and figure out a multi-mode strategy.

 

Again, thanks for all the information, it was very helpful!

 

Best,

 

-David

We are on version 4.0 and have seen this before as well as where
characters at the end of very long lines become 'hidden' by the
editor.  The way I tend to fix it is to increase the font size and
that fixes the ability to scroll to the end and see the full set of
characters.

We also have noticed not being able to scroll to the end of the entire
  metadata section with certain fonts.  They have fixed this in 5.5 I
guess.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone is going to the Dimensions User Group
Conference next month.

More information is available here (Paste in Browser if link not working):

www.dimensionsusers.com/dugc2008.htm

I plan to be there.

Should be interesting,

Hope to see lots of folks there sharing knowledge.

Yes, you will yield correlated results based on metadata randomization.  SPSS uses a random seed value AND the number of responses in the question to generate the random order.  When utilizing ordering in the metadata, mrInterview randomizes all items with the initial random seed value (DataCollection.SeedValue), thus all questions with the same number of responses will have the some position ordering.

However, according to the DDL this should not be happening.  The DDL states there are two possible randomization scenarios which can be achieved in the metadata.  One is to keep the same random order for all questions which use the same list by placing the ordering on the shared list.  The other is to change the order of the responses in each question by placing the ordering at the question level.  However, as you have experienced it doesn't matter how you achieve your ordering in the metadata all responses show up in the same position order for questions who have an identical number of responses.

The way to get around this is to do your randomizing in the routing (which I prefer not to do for several reasons).  This works because each time a function or ordering which utilizes the seed value is executed, mrInterview generates a new seed value for the next function.  This results in unique randomizations even across questions which contain same number of responses.

However, be careful as there is a situation where if you randomize the responses to a grid in the routing and ask the grid on one page, mrInterview randomizes EVERY row and therefore the options for each row do NOT correlate to the option text at the header column (resulting in garbage data which when reviewed will be flat).

Our experience has been that, in more complex designs, Dimensions
randomization can yield correlated values. It requires a good deal of
work & alternate solutions to disassociate the variables.

If someone is thinks SPSS is going under, I'd take what they say with
a grain of salt.  They should look at SPSS stock performance and Q1
2008 earnings.

Basically, I can’t get a straight answer from SPSS.  Apparently they haven’t conveyed this information successfully on their own b/c too many people within GfK are asking questions like:

 

“But isn’t everyone switching to confirmit b/c SPSS is going under?”…..    

“Does anyone actually use Dimensions these days?”…..  

“SPSS never delivers!  How will I know they’ll deliver?”

 

 

I’m not a salesperson for SPSS.  

 

I figured it was worth understanding which MR companies are actually using the software for my own sanity….

Hey, a question came up the other day….. and I can’t seem to get a good answer from SPSS.

 

It is my understanding (based on looking at this list, other message boards, and linkedin)…..  the following companies use Dimensions:

 

Kantar

Synovate

GfK US, UK, and several other countries …(though, some of our European colleagues use confirmit and other technologies also)

Libermann

 

Who else?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else has found the need to split mrs script
runs during excel exports into several smaller runs that are pasted
together on the back-end to avoid the 'unknown excel error' messages?

If so, have you found any better solution besides creating smaller mrs
script runs and pasting together excel export files on the back-end?

And, if you have, can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

... okay, i am trying to export to excel. i have reduced the amount of
exporting tables from the maximum of 800+ to 6 tables at a time
(appending), but i still get the unknown excel message "not enough
storage space to populate".

c'mon. i have 4 gigs of ram ....  i really need to find where the
hidden cache is... obviously, there is a shared component or a maximum
clipboard amount i am missing....

btw, i have outlook shut down and i am not running in safe mode - just
over my company's network.

if i reduce the appending tables export from six tables at a time to
three, the excel export works without issue.

any insights would be extremly helpful.

thanks!

Hi,

sorry it took so long... been busy
anyway.  not using the annotations helps the export speed, but the
clipboard still ties up during the export process - and i can't copy
and paste anything.

i have found that by closing outlook or running in safe mode,i can run
larger mrs script files.  otherwise i just have to split large runs up
or only populate s small number of tables at a time.
