Programming for microcomputer-based data collection
AbstractBoth desktop and laptop microcomputers are convenient data collection instruments for all types of surveys. Either questionnaire software or data base programs configured for data collection can be used to write questions to the screen and store both verbal and numeric data on disks. Data collection programs written in BASIC are an attractive alternative. One advantage is that such programs are relatively easy to write. This article presents several simple programming procedures for writing BASIC programs that will serve a variety of data collection needs. Covered are the storage of verbal and numerical data, skip patterns, error checking, and sequential record numbering. Once written for one project, the program framework can be used again in other surveys.
