Hi Trevor,
Many thanks for this thorough response.
I noticed today that a new version of the Mali dataset has been released with this variable added/corrected which is great - especially as I had not quite yet got on to following your instructions myself.
I am working on it now and will be following your first steps of splitting the unit and number field. As I am using SPSS not Stata I will try to figure out how to do this using your Stata instructions - I may be in touch again if my SPSS syntax skills are not up to the job.
For future reference is there any way of knowing that a variable is a composite variable in the way that you describe? I have noticed that ages are recorded in different ways.
Once again, many thanks for your help.
Janet
