Error in field type

Question

I have a little problem: I'm trying to use ENDOG to get the relatedness between my individuals, but the software sends me an error: "The field identifying the animal is not the same type than parents." But I checked and the three columns are defined as "text" type, and I have unknown parents that I have coded with "0" or with "?" or with " " but nothing works. Maybe you can help me?

Answer 1

You need to take advantage of the built-in Help for the application, since no other details are available on the Internet. The name of the developer doesn't help much as well since it's a very common word. I've looked for the Endog software and ended up with 0 results.

Therefore, go to Help > Contents or look in the installation directory for PDF or CHM files. Developers usually place these files to be accessible in case you need additional help.
