Comprehensive Data Processing Package For– Data entry– Verification– Consistency checking– Exporting– Menu creation
CSPRO’s Components

Dictionaries
Defines how the information from the questionnaire is stored in the data file.– Questions => Variables– Modules => Records– Questionnaires => Levels– Unique identifiers => Identification variables
Forms
Forms are linked to dictionaries They are displayed during data entry They define
– which variables are entered– the order in which variables are entered
When you edit a form, CSPRO opens the associated dictionary
Applications

– Data entry– Comparison– Batch– Export
When you open an application, CSPRO opens its associated dictionary and forms (data entry only)
Application Types
Data entry– control the path through the questionnaire– check that entered data is valid and
consistent. Comparison
– compare two files and list differences – comparison is used for verifying
Application Types
Batch– count cases in a data file– perform consistency checks– export dictionary and data to other packages
Opening CSPRO
Double-click on CSPRO icon Double-click on an application, dictionary
