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 Regnth : public Editor {
public:
Regnth(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {
case dataset_id::th1970a: {
if (TH1970A_0032(0) == 17 || TH1970A_0032(0) == 32)
a = 1;
} break;
}
setData(a);
}
};
