*** PRODUCT UPDATE NOTICE ***
On January 29, 1998 the following changes were made to the data and
documentation for the 1994 Study of American Families:
- The value of the variable SB1CW ("Respondent's First Selected
Sib's Occupation: Self-Employed or Worked for Someone Else")
was changed for ID #2508. In that case, the prior (April 2, 1997)
release of the data classified that respondent as having a value of
"3" for the variable SB1CW. The correct value is "2."
The data file and codebook for the January 29, 1998 release reflect
this change.
- The prior (April 2, 1997) release of the data file MODULE7.DAT contained
an additional (237th) column of data, and this has been
corrected. That is, despite the fact that the codebook indicates that
MODULE7.DAT contains 236 columns, the prior (April 2, 1997) release
of MODULE7.DAT actually consisted of 237 columns. The superfluous
final column has been removed from the January 29, 1998 release. NOTE:
This change does not alter column locations for any variables in any
module of the data; since the superfluous column was the 237th
column, this change is very minor for all practical purposes.
My thanks to Adrian Harvey-Beavis of the Australian Council for Educational
Research for identifying these problems in the April 2, 1997 release
of the data!
