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 supplementary standard 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 * * Country Data record number * * code type Version length of recs * * ---- ---- ------- ------ ------- * %FILE EG SS 01 100 8788 A * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Location Length Number * * Sort of of of * * order case key case key cases * * ----- -------- -------- ----- * %CASE A 17 12 8788 * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * T000 1 11 File identification * "WFSEGSS0100" * T001 12 5 18788 Sequence number X001 17 12 Case identification * 17 3 Cluster * * 20 4 Dwelling * * 24 1 Household * * 25 2 Line number * * 27 2 Husband's line number * X221 29 2 0 6 Sons living away X223 31 2 0 6 Daughters living away X301 33 2 0 76 88 98 Breastfed in OBI 88 Not applicable 98 Did not breastfeed 99 Not stated X573I 35 1 0 7 8 9 Location of IUD outlet 0 Other 1 FP centre 2 Hospital 3 Mobile FP unit 4 Pharmacy 5 Private doctor 6 Social societies 7 Friends 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated X573P 36 1 0 7 8 9 Location of pill outlet X573I X600A 37 2 0 15 Methods known X600B 39 2 0 15 Methods known X601 41 2 0 15 Methods used X641 43 1 0 7 8 9 Transport to pill outlet 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated X642 44 1 0 7 8 9 Transport to IUD outlet X641 X689 45 1 1 5 8 9 Reason for not using FP 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated X697 46 1 1 3 8 9 Future use of contraception 1 Yes 2 No 3 Undecided 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated X699A 47 1 1 2 8 9 Source of FP info : husband 1 Yes 2 No 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated X699B 48 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : friends, rel X699A X699C 49 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : priv doctor X699A X699D 50 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : newspaper X699A X699E 51 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : radio, TV X699A X699F 52 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : FP centre X699A X699G 53 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : MCH centre X699A $PAGE X699H 54 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : Health unit X699A X699I 55 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP info : Hospital X699A X699J 56 1 1 2 8 9 Source FP inf : Health visitor X699A X710 57 4 09719 9999 Occupation since marr 0 Did not work 9999 Not stated X721 61 4 09719 9999 Occup bef 1st marriage X710 X740 65 3 4 720 888 999 Hours worked per month 888 Not applicable 999 Not stated X741 68 3 1 200 888 999 Monthly income X740 X741A 71 4 640 963 8888 9999 Date receivd last income X710 X770A 75 1 2 5 8 9 Level of further education 2 Peparatory 3 Secondary 4 Above secondary 5 University and above 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated X770B 76 1 0 5 8 9 Highest grade completed X641 X780 77 1 1 2 8 9 Will live w marr chldn X699A * X806A : source variable is Q704 (date of birth of last husband - * * Q704Y, Q704M).
