Hello,

I have checked the DHS recode manual to learn the label names for partner's/husband's occupation, and for household floor/roof material, but my variables appear to have additional codes not listed and so I'm not sure whether these are separate categories or whether they can be collapsed/regrouped with the standard codes.

For example, a tabulation of v705 shows 0 through 11, but the recode manual provides label names for 0 through 9 codes. Are "10" and "11" country-specific subcodes for "1" (professional, technical, managerial), or are they separate occupation groups?

For floor/roof material (v127 and v129), a tab lists codes "40" and/or "41" whereas the recode manual provides 3 major categories: 10 to 19 "natural"; 20 to 29 "rudimentary" and 30 to 35 "finished".

I haven't been able to locate a publication which might provide some insight into the names of these aditional codes. Please advise if there is one I can reference.

Many thanks in advance,
A Conklin
