| notes | During the reformat & transfer of the data to the Model 204 database environment the 'AGE8' variable was extended to take account of those aged 99+. In the old VME environment those aged 99 & over were grouped into a single code. The reformat allows single age bands of 99 & over to be identified. See program specification sheet 2 2 4 for further details. |
