Writing an integer question
An integer question requires a whole number response; that is, a number without decimals. The Interview Scripting Language calls this a long question.
This example shows how to write a question that looks like this when you run the interview:
Procedure
1 Enter the question name followed by a space, and then the question text enclosed in double quotation marks:
Metadata(en-us, Question, label)
SurveyTitle "Tea Survey" info;
Email "Please enter your email address?" text [10..50];
HowMany "How many cups of tea do you drink in an average week?"
End Metadata
2 Add the long keyword to specify that this question requires a whole number as its response.
Metadata(en-us, Question, label)
SurveyTitle "Tea Survey" info;
Email "Please enter your email address?" text [10..50];
HowMany "How many cups of tea do you drink in an average week?" long
End Metadata
3 Assume that some respondents do not drink tea at all, and that no respondent can drink more than 99 cups of tea in a week. Type the allowed response range enclosed in square brackets. End the question with a semicolon.
Metadata(en-us, Question, label)
SurveyTitle "Tea Survey" info;
Email "Please enter your email address?" text [10..50];
HowMany "How many cups of tea do you drink in an average week?" long [0..99];
End Metadata
