Thank you Bridgette,

You are of course correct. It seems the 2014 Senegal files have a similar structure, with the second level having both the "expected" file, and another one.

I have a few questions:

1. Are there any other exceptions like these two, is there a reference list of them?

2. The 2014 files (SNxx70xx.zip) have both the "expected" SNxx70xx.zip files and the SNxx6Rxx.zip files. Am I correct in saying that the second set of files is not named in line with the Distribution File Naming Convention as described here: https://dhsprogram.com/data/File-Types-and-Names.cfm? Namely the "R" should refer to the 4th DHSVI survey, but that is not the case?

3. Similarly the "G" in the SNxxG0xx.zip files that are found inside SNxx7Qxx.zip. What is the "G"?

4. Perhaps more simply: when the footnote say the surveys have been combined, does this just mean the merging like so:

SNxx6R = SNxx6D + SNxx70 and SNxxG0 = SNxx7Q + SNxx7H ?

Is there any particular reason for this approach?

Many thanks for your time.
