Dear,

I am using the ir dataset and I need the information on the husband's education in single years. However, In the Maldives 2009 dataset the information is either zero or "don't know" for all the sample:



. ta v715

husbands |
education-si |
ngle yrs | Freq. Percent Cum.
-------------+-----------------------------------
0 | 714 10.01 10.01
don't know | 6,391 89.62 99.64
99 | 26 0.36 100.00
-------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 7,131 100.00

Is that a problem in the dataset?

Thank you,
Fernanda
