In response to message 9365, if you can share your code we can check for where there are differences in the calculation.

In response to message 9386, and the "?" in vcal_2, this code is for a missing response for the reason for discontinuation in the second column of the calendar. This category is collapsed into the "Other reasons" category in table 7.9

For your question about matching the number of episodes in table 7.9 or 7.10, which numbers are you comparing to? I don't see a total number of episodes in either of these tables. Note also that these two tables use very different approaches for their calculation. Table 7.9 uses a life table for the discontinuation rates and uses episodes in the period 3-62 months preceding the survey, while table 7.10 is a simple percent distribution of episodes that terminated in the period 0-59 months preceding the survey. Table 7.10 provide a total number of discontinuations (episodes that discontinued in the period 0-59 months before the survey).
