Hi,
I noticed that e.g. in file ZWIR52DT.ZIP, the included Stata file has duplicated code for some labels. E.g. in variable h46a_1 field worker is coded as 15 & 25 (see below). Any reason for this? Are these different types of field workers or is this an error?

Following up on your answer...Do you know in other cases what the difference may be? E.g. in file 'AOIR71DT.ZIP' the variable "'v129': Main material of the roof. Individual codes are country-specific, but the major categories are
standard" has duplicated labels for "wood" and a strange label for the potential answer 97 NOT DE JURE RESIDENT:
{10: 'natural',
11: 'no roof',
12: 'grass/palm',
20: 'rudimentary',
21: 'palm/bamboo',
22: 'wood',
23: 'cardboard',
30: 'finished',
31: 'zinc plates',
32: 'wood',
33: 'calamine/cement fiber',
34: 'ceramic tiles',
35: 'concrete slab',
36: 'tiles',
96: 'other',
97: 'not a dejure resident'}
Why are there two codes for wood? Are these specific types? Or error in the country coding conversion? Where can I find this information? The codebooks seem to only have the variable names, but not the codes and labels.
