NIPO ODIN Version 5.17
*REPEAT (question option)
System
NIPO CATI only
Purpose
Stores the current position in a scale or line question.
Syntax
*REPEAT <n>
Description
This command is always used in combination with *QUESTION and the question type definitions *SCALE or *LINE and must be specified after these commands on the same line. On specified intervals the current position of the block or the length of the line is stored. How many times this happens depends on the number of reserved positions in the data field specification and the given maximum. For instance, if the maximum of the scale is 10 (i.e. 2 digits are used per value) and the length of the data field is 80, the registration will be repeated 40 times.
Arguments
n
Positive integer that represents the number of seconds to wait between every registration.
Example
*QUESTION 1 *LINE 61L60 *MAX 40 *REPEAT 5
This is an example of a line question.
In this example, the length of the line is stored every 5 seconds up to 30 times (size of data field (60) divided by 2 positions for the highest code (40)).
