Field help (DEMASWTYP)

A question is characterized with a response type. This one introduces a standardization of the response setup entries and conditions the entry of the different elements of the question. The response can be of the following type:

• alphanumeric,
• numeric,
• date,
• yes/no.

If the response type is "date" or "yes/no", the sections control type and off-standard response cannot be entered.
In addition, the control table , the ranges and thedefault response must be of the same type (alphanumeric or numeric) as the response type.

 Once the question is created, it is no longer possible to modify its response type.
