Below are technical specifications and programming information for the H47F2
data file. Users are strongly encouraged to read the documentation file
provided in this release for additional information on the content of this
file.
H47F2.DAT: This file contains the H47F2 data in ASCII format. It contains 48038 records with 87 variables. This file has a logical record
length of 242 with an additional 2-byte carriage return/line feed at the end of each record.
H47F2.SSP: This file contains the H47F2 data in SAS Transport format. See the H47F2SU.TXT file for information applicable to SAS users of
the H47F2 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.
H47F2SU.TXT: This ASCII file contains information for SAS users of the H47F2 data. This includes information on the SAS Transport
version of the H47F2 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.
H47F2CB.PDF: This PDF file contains the codebook for the H47F2 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.
