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.
