Kidmap

[Chung Wei Kho]

How do I produce kidmap? ConQuest crashed whenever I used the following command:
kidmap >> kidmap.out;

I've also tried this command:
kidmap ! cases=2314,1927,1503,2853 >> kidmap.out;
Again, the programme crashed.

For your information, I'm running a between-item multidimensionality model.

Thanks.

Can you let us know what version of ConQuest you are running and produce a small reproducible example to we can recreate the issue?

I've used ConQuest version 4.14.2. My dataset contains 90 items and 3086 persons. The following is the command that I have used:
datafile 90.dat;
format id 98-101  responses 1-90;

I can’t recreate your issue because I don’t have your data and lab files. Do you get the same issue when you run the notes or tutorials?
