A single-coded question is one that has a list of possible responses and only one answer is allowed for each respondent.

A single-coded question may have up to 9999 responses.

Unless the responses are stored in individual locations, you will need to specify the width (number of data locations) for the answer:

•Width 1 will allow up to 9 responses

•Width 2 will allow up to 99 responses

•Width 3 will allow up to 999 responses

•Width 4 will allow up to 9999 responses

The response number selected is stored in the data file for each record.

The program will only allow one answer to be entered for a single-coded question.

A data check report will error single-coded questions with more than one answer.
