Below are technical specifications and programming
information for the H42F1 data file. Users are strongly encouraged to
read the documentation file provided in this release for additonal
information on the content of this file.
H42F1.DAT: This file contains the H42F1 data in
ASCII format. It contains 34,551 records with 468 variables. This file
has a logical record length of 1213 with an additional 2-byte carriage
return/line feed at the end of each record.
H42F1.SSP: This file contains the H42F1 data in
SAS Transport format. See the H42F1SU.TXT file for information
applicable to SAS users of the H42F1 data.
Note: For users' convenience, both of these data
files (i.e., the ASCII data files and the SAS Transport data files) are
provided in two compressed formats: 1) a compressed ZIP file and 2) a
self-extracting executable file. See the related link for information
on uncompressing these files.
H42F1SU.TXT: This ASCII file contains information
for SAS users of the H42F1 data. This includes information on the SAS
Transport version of the H42F1 data, as well as SAS statements for
converting the ASCII data file into a SAS data set (in lieu of using the
SAS Transport file) and for creating and using SAS formats. This file
also includes helpful information for inexperienced SAS users, such as
sample SAS program code.
H42F1CB.PDF: This PDF file contains the codebook
for the H42F1 data file. It indicates the record layout (i.e., the
start and end position of each variable) of the file. The codebook also
includes listings of the variables in both alphabetical and position
order, as well as the following information for each variable: 8
character name, 40 character description, format (length), type
(character or numeric), start and end positions, and unweighted and
weighted frequencies.
