In this process some * * inconsistencies found in the data were corrected. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * This document contains six types of record. They are distinguished * * by the character printed in position 1: * * * * alphabetic character (A-Z) - a variable definition record. * * blank - a value definition record. * * left parenthesis ("(") - a record that documents the basic * * provenance of the dictionary. * * percent symbol ("%") - indicates one of three kinds * * of record, "%FILE", "%CASE" and * * "%TABLE", described below. * * greater than symbol (">") - used in conjunction with "%TABLE". * * dollar sign ("$") - a title or page-control direction. * * asterisk ("*") - a comment. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Positions 73-80 of all dictionary entries are reserved for a sequ- * * ence number. * * * * All values are coded right justified in their field, while names * * and labels are coded left justified. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Abbreviations used for intervals: * * * * FBI first birth interval * * FPI first pregnancy interval * * LCBI last closed birth interval * * LCPI last closed pregnancy interval * * OBI open birth interval * * OPI open pregnancy interval * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Dates: * * * * All dates in the file are represented by century month codes (cmc). * * The century month code is defined as the number of months since * * December 1899 and is calculated as follows: * * cmc = 12*year + month * * You can convert from cmc to normal calendar dates like this: * * year = (cmc - 1)/12 * * month = cmc - 12*year * * To compute the length of time in months between any two events * * subtract the cmc of the first event from the cmc of the second * * event. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE * * * Variable Definition Records: * * * * Variable definition records are used to provide names and labels * * for variables, to define their location in the file, and to state * * their range and special codes. The format of a variable definition * * record is: * * * * Position Contents Remarks * * * * 1-6 Variable name Identifies the variable; up to six * * characters, the first being a letter. * * * * 10-13 Starting location Position where variable starts. * * * * 15-16 Length Number of positions occupied by the * * variable. * * * * 17-20 Minimum Lowest value of variable. * * * * 21-24 Maximum Highest value of variable other than * * "not applicable" or special codes. * * * * 26-29 Not applicable Code used for "not applicable",if any; * * otherwise left blank. * * * * 31-34 Special code This indicates a value requiring * * special treatment in analysis. As a * * variable may have more than one spec- * * ial code, only the lowest value of * * these is shown here. Others will be * * indicated as value definition records * * only. Usually this code is used for * * "not stated", if any. * * * * 36-65 Variable label Describes the variable more fully than * * the name; up to 30 characters. * * * * 67-72 Value label If the codes for this variable have * * backreference the same labels as some previously def- * * ined variable,the name of the previous * * variable is given here. * * * * * * Value Definition Records: * * * * Value definition records follow a variable definition record and * * are used to provide labels describing the meaning of the codes of * * the variable. If used in conjunction with a value label reference * * (in the variable definition record) they can be used to add new * * codes or to redefine the labels of old codes. The format of a * * value definition record is: * * * * Position Contents Remarks * * * * 36-39 Value The code being defined. * * * * 44-63 Label Up to 20 characters, left justified. * $PAGE *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * %FILE record: * * * * There is only one "%FILE" record in a dictionary, preceding the * * variable definition records. It contains basic information about * * the data file. The format of a %FILE record is: * * * * Position Contents Remarks * * * * 1-5 %FILE * * * * 9-10 Country code Identifies the country. * * * * 19-20 Data type Type of data described. * * * * 29-30 Version Version of data file . * * * * 37-40 Logical record length * * * * 43-50 Max no of recs Number of physical records ("cards") * * in the data file. * * * * 60 Data recording mode "A" = Ascii. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * %CASE records: * * * * A "%CASE" record describes the location and length of the case * * key and gives the number of cases. It can be used to describe * * multiple case keys. The format of a %CASE record is: * * * * Position Contents Remarks * * * * 1-5 %CASE * * * * 15 Sort order "A"=ascending, "D"=descending * * "U"=unsorted. * * * * 22-25 Location of case key.Starting position of 1st case key. * * * * 33-35 Length of case key * * * * 49-55 Max number of cases in data file * * * * Note: For standard recode files the number of cases in the %CASE * * record is the same as the number of physical records in the * * %FILE record. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE * * * %TABLE records: * * * * These records allow a compact description of data items (one or * * more variables), which repeat in regular blocks, by indicating how * * the information is repeated. The %TABLE record is followed by * * records with ">" in position 1. These are variable and value * * definition records describing one set of entries in the table. The * * format of a %TABLE record is: * * * * Postion Contents Remarks * * * * 1-6 %TABLE * * * * 8-9 Formal name This is a name by which the table * * may be referenced (left justified). * * * * 26-30 Starting location The starting position in the data * * file of the 1st variable in the 1st * * set of the table. * * * * 38-40 Step size Number of positions between the * * start of each set. * * * * 64-65 Actual entries The maximum number of sets for that * * particular country. * * * * 69-70 Max. entries The number of sets for which there * * is space in the data file. * * * * ">" records: * * * * All definition records describing table variables have this char- * * acter in position 1. These records are of two kinds: * * * * Variable definition records. * * * * The format of a table variable definition record is: * * * * Position Contents Remarks * * * * 1 > Indicates that the information is * * part of a table. * * 2-5 Variable name Maximum 4 characters. * * * * 8-9 Table name The name given in position 8-9 of * * the preceding %TABLE record. * * * * 10-13 Location This gives the starting position of * * the variable within the table. * * * * 15-72 Label & backref. As for normal variable definition * * records. * * * * Value definition records. * * * * These are the same as normal value definition records apart from * * the character ">" in position 1. * $PAGE *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Logical Maximum Data * * Country Data Data record number recording * * code type version length of recs mode * * ------- ---- ------- ------ ------- --------- * * * %FILE TT SS 01 76 4981 A * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Maximum * * Sort Case key number * * order location length number of recs * * ----- -------- -------- ------ ------- * * * %CASE A 17 10 1 4981 * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE *Name Loc Ln Min Max NA Spec Variable label * *---- --- -- --- --- ---- ---- -------------- * * * T000 1 11 File identification * 1 3 "WFS" * * 4 2 "TT" * * 6 6 "SS0100" * T001 12 5 Serial number X001 17 10 Case identification * 17 1 1 9 County * 18 1 0 7 Ward * 19 3 1 166 Enumeration district * 22 3 1 784 Household number * 25 2 1 17 Individual number X208 27 2 0 9 88 Children living away 88 Omitted girls 15-19 X258 29 2 0 15 88 Children living at home X208 X270 31 1 1 3 8 0 Should be able to have abrtion 0 NA, never married 1 Yes 2 No 3 Don't know 8 Not applicable X301 32 2 0 76 88 98 Duratn brstfed last chld 76 76+ 88 No open interval 98 Did not breastfeed 99 Not stated X411 34 4 642 929 8888 When sterilised 8888 Not applicable X413 38 4 821 928 8888 When partner sterilised X411 X600A 42 2 0 12 Methods known X600B 44 2 0 13 Methods known X601 46 2 0 9 Methods used X682 48 1 1 6 8 Supply source of current meth 1 FP assoc clinic 2 Health ctr,clnc,hosp 3 FP field worker 4 Pharmacy, drugstore 5 Family, privte doctr 6 Other source 8 Not applicable X686 49 2 1 11 88 99 Previous method used 1 Pill 2 Iud 3 Other fem scientific 4 Douche 5 Condom 6 Rhythm 7 Withdrawal 8 Abstinence 9 Female sterilization 10 Male sterilization 11 Injection 88 Not applicable 99 Not stated $Page V004C 51 4 1 631 PSU V005C 55 4 1 631 UAU * Same as V004C * V006C 59 4 8311384 Normalized sample wt S611C 63 2 1 3 88 Approval of contraception 1 Approves 2 Disapproves 3 Other 88 Not applicable *----------------------------------------------------------------------* C001 65 1 1 3 Type place residence 1 Major urban 2 Other urban 3 Rural C002 66 2 0 3 Wife's education 0 No school 1 1-3 years 2 4-6 years 3 7+ years C003 68 2 0 2 88 Wife's wk stat sce marr 0 No work 1 Family,self 2 Others 88 Not applicable C004 70 2 0 4 88 Husband's occupation 0 No work 1 Agriculture,farm 2 Skilled,unskilled 3 Sales, services 4 Professional,clerk 88 Not applicable T5406 72 2 1 11 88 99 Last method used in LCBI X686 * T5406 was asked only of currently pregnant respondents who have * * used a contraceptive method * T5508 74 2 1 11 88 99 Last method used X686 * T5508 was only for those who cannot have (more) children as well * * as for those who have no present partner * T5510 76 1 1 3 8 Ever wanted any children 1 Yes 2 No 3 Undecided 8 Not applicable *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * End of the Trinidad and Tobago Supplementary Standard file * *----------------------------------------------------------------------*
