Below are technical specifications
and programming information for the H68F5 data file. Users are
strongly encouraged to read the documentation file provided in
this release for additional information on the content of this
file.
H68F5.DAT: This file contains the
H68F5 data in ASCII format. It contains 182,677 records with
17 variables. This file has a logical record length of 66 with
an additional 2-byte carriage return/line feed at the end of
each record.
H68F5.SSP: This file contains the
H68F5 data in SAS Transport format. See the H68F5SU.TXT file
for information applicable to SAS users of the H68F5 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.
H68F5SU.TXT: This ASCII file
contains information for SAS users of the H68F5 data. This
includes information on the SAS Transport version of the H68F5
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.
H68F5SPU.TXT: This ASCII file
contains statements for use with SPSS software, to convert the
ASCII data file (H68F5.DAT) into an SPSS data set.
H68F5CB.PDF: This PDF file
contains the codebook for the H68F5 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.
