I have a substantive query in return, fired
by idle curiosity.
In your data for -year- (below) there is a big peak in 1988.
On another variable, it seems that "88"
was used to code missing, as you excluded
it from tabulation. Is it possible
that the real 88s for -year- (i.e. born in 1988)
have got mixed up with missings (coded 88) ?
