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: * * * * 36-39 Value The code being defined. * * * * 44-63 Label Up to 20 characters, left justified. * * * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Logical Maximum Data * * Country Data Data record number recording * * code type version length of recs mode * * ------- ---- ------- ------ ------- --------- * * * %FILE PY SS 01 50 4622 A * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * * Maximum * * Sort Case key number * * order location length number of recs * * ----- -------- -------- ------ ------- * * * %CASE A 29 4 1 4622 * *----------------------------------------------------------------------* $PAGE *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * * T000 1 11 File identification * "WFSPYSS0100" * T001 12 5 14622 Sequence number X001 17 16 Case identification * 17 3 1 140 PSU * * 20 3 1 829 Segment * * 23 3 1 69 Dwelling * * 26 1 1 8 Supplementary condition * * 27 2 1 22 Line * * 29 4 14889 Questionnaire number * X301 33 2 0 72 88 98 Breastfed in OBI 88 Not applicable 98 Did not breastfeed 99 Not stated X600A 35 2 0 15 Methods known X600B 37 2 0 15 Methods known X601 39 2 0 15 Methods used X697 41 1 1 3 8 9 Future use of contraception 1 Yes 2 No 3 Undecided 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated C001 42 2 1 3 Place of residence - recoded 1 Major urban 2 Other urban 3 Rural C002 44 2 0 3 Wife's education 0 No school 1 1-3 years 2 4-6 years 3 7+ years C003 46 2 0 2 88 99 Wife's employ since marr 0 No work 1 Family - self 2 Others 88 Single 99 Not stated C004 48 2 0 4 88 Husband's occupation 0 No work 1 Agricult - farm 2 Skilled - unskilled 3 Sales - services 4 Profess - clerical 88 Never married T6512 50 1 1 3 8 9 Desire for a child 1 Yes 2 No 3 Uncertain 8 Not applicable 9 Not stated *----------------------------------------------------------------------* * End of dictionary for Paraguay supplementary standard file * *----------------------------------------------------------------------*
