Dear Yawo,

Thanks for the question. We will make a change to these variable descriptions.

The lengths of the IDHSPSU and IDHSSTRATA variables do not matter. The important characteristic is that the variables uniquely identify primary sampling units or strata, respectively. This is not affected by their length.
