Below are technical specifications and programming
information for the H67G data file. Users are strongly
encouraged to read the documentation file provided in this
release for additional information on the content of this
file.
H67GDAT: This file contains the H67G data in ASCII format. It
contains 179,745 records with 73 variables. This file has a
logical record length of 267 with an additional 2-byte
carriage return/line feed at the end of each record. The
content of this file is described in the file
H67GDOC.PDF.
H67GSSP: This file contains the H67G data in SAS Transport
format. See the H67GSU.TXT file for information applicable to
SAS users of the H67G 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.
H67GSU.TXT: This ASCII file contains information for SAS
users of the H67G data. This includes information on the SAS
Transport version of the H67G data, H67G.SSP, as well as SAS
statements for converting the ASCII data file H67G.DAT 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.
H67GSPU.TXT: This ASCII file contains information for SPSS users
of the H67G data, including statements for use in converting the
ASCII data file into a SPSS data set.
H67GDOC.PDF: This PDF (Portable Document Format) file
contains the document describing the contents of the H67G.DAT
file.
H67GCB.PDF: This PDF file contains the codebook for the for
the H67G data file. It indicates the record layout (i.e., the
