Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Mianmian Yu:

Thank you for the questions.

(1) V714 was constructed using the following logic in CSPro

if Q806 = 1 | Q807 = 1 then
      V714 = 1
    else
      V714 = YesNo( Q808 );
endif;

As you interpreted correctly, it is "yes" when Q806, Q807 or Q808 is "yes".

(2) V714 was constructed using the following logic in CSPro

 if Q808 = 1 then
      V731 = 3               { have a job but didn't work last 7 days }
   elseif V714 = 1 then
      V731 = 2              { currently working }
   else
      V731 = YesNo( Q809 ); { whether worked last 12 months }
 endif;

This logic is different from what you guessed earlier.

(3) You are correct that V741 is from Q816 and V721 comes directly from Q814

There is no codebook that maps a question to a variable. If you have questions about additional variables, we will be happy to check them out for you.
