Channel Aware Scripting Variables and Constants
The _CHANNEL variable contains a numeric value that represents the channel (NIPO CATI, NIPO CAWI, NIPO CAPI or NIPO CASI) where the questionnaire is currently executed. The value of this variable is automatically set by the system and cannot be changed. You can check for the value corresponding with the channel, but you can also refer to a channel by using the corresponding constant. See the table below.
