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.

You can assign score values to the rows for mean score calculations.

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.
