Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
class Mig1_5_sn : public Editor {
public:
Mig1_5_sn(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {
case dataset_id::sn2002a: {
if (SN2002A_0404() < 5)
a = 686099;
} break;
case dataset_id::sn1988a: {
if (SN1988A_0427() == 0)
a = GEO1_SN(0);
} break;

setData(a);

};

Comparability — General
The 2013 samples restricts the universe to persons in ordinary households.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.
Boundary changes:
- In 2002 Matam was formed from parts of Saint Louis and Louga.
- In 2008 Kaffrine region split from Kaolack
- Also, there was a change in boundary between Fatick and Kaolack between the 2002 and the 2013 censuses
- In 2008 Kédougou region split from Tambacounda
- In 2008 Sédhiou region split from Kolda
