Building on earlier code

[David Marso]

Even better,
Attach a few rows in a SAV file after reordering and pruning as previously
instructed. Just the relevant variables and a problematic case with a
detailed description of how/why it is a problem and how it could be
corrected "manually".

At first mention, the "proband" is a mother.

   There is a measure on which the proband's caregiver reports her total #of
    pregnancies, each birth year associated with that pregnancy, and health
    variables for the newborn. The caregiver can report up to 12 pregnancies

At later mention, the "proband" is a baby.

   This is because any of the 12
    PREGYEARS could be the proband.

Until you figure out what you mean by proband, the rest will not

make much sense to me.

I don't think I said the proband was the mother.

The proband is a child (w/ a neurological disorder). Most measures are self
report, some are parent-report. One of the parent report measures is the
questionnaire on which mother reports on her pregnancies. Hence one of the
reported pregnancies includes data on the proband while the others his/her
sibs.

I will post the pared file to illustrate my GD problem and I will endeavor
to make it razor sharp and clear.

This is PRECISELY it, Eugene.

In regards to your questions: I have already computed what you request as a
first step and this is exactly where I am now stuck. The previous wisdom
from the board allowed me to compute these variables and to clear up (with
study personnel) some of the multiple year or no year matches already (data
entry errors). That was one purpose.

Now I am at the point you describe. See attached output and I think you will
see what I mean. example.doc

"I don't think I said the proband was the mother."

Sorry, my mistake.  In my vocabulary, the "caregiver" is a

professional - the doctor, nurse, or social worker who is filling

out the form.

In yours, "caregiver" is an euphemism for "mother" which should

lead to "no match" if the caregiver is not the mother.
