NIPO ODIN Version 5.17

*MOVA

Purpose

Transfers data to the T-file or Sample table record.

Syntax

*MOVA <Qn> <Qm>

Description

Data specified in the second argument is transferred to the data field in the T-file or Sample table record specified in the first argument. The original contents of the receiving data field are overwritten. This command may also be allowed under condition.

Arguments

Qn
This is a (dummy) question that refers to a data field in the T-file or Sample table record.

Qm
The question reference of the data field that contains the data to be transferred.

Remarks

Positions in the T-file are linked to fields in the Sample table. For more information, see Copying Positions From a T-file for details. As a result you should not refer to positions in the T-file that overlap fields. For example, the following script:

*MOVA 136L55 101L55

Results in the message "Warning: 136L55 spans multiple database fields, will be truncated to 136L45".

Example

*QUESTION 1 *NUMBER 290L2 *ADDRESS
*QUESTION 2 *NUMBER 61L2

How old are you?

*MOVA Q1 Q2

This example stores the contents of Q2 (position 61-62) in position 290-291 of the T-file. This corresponds to the 4th and the 5th position in the field TTDisplayField4 in the Sample table record.
