For example a code of' '999' would be used for a missing field of three characters. -not applicable or skipped variables are left blank
Processing Checks	All files have been checked for the following: 1. All variables have been clearly defined and labelled 2. All categories (value labels) have been clearly defined 3. All cases have unique identification (no duplicates) 4. The frequencies of expected respondents checked with the actual section and inconsistencies noted. 5. Skip patterns have been verified 6.
