Note for the HTML-version: These instructions were extracted word to word from Version 2 of Form 05, which was part of the December 1986 revision of the MONICA Manual. Therefore, references to other sections of the Manual also refer to the December 1986 revision, which has not been converted to HTML.
The purpose of this form is to provide an exact and common format for inventory data of Survey Serial Numbers issued for transfer to the MONICA Data Centre (MDC): The data should be sent on magnetic tapes, not on paper forms. Instructions for data transfer on magnetic tapes are given in Section 10 : Data Transfer on Magnetic Tapes to the Data Centre.
The serial number inventory data are needed to check that no data have been lost during the various stages of data flow between the sample selection and inclusion of data in the master file of the MDC.
For each survey, the serial number inventory data for every individual selected in the original sample should be submitted to the MDC in one batch, together with the last batch of data submitted in the format of Core Data Transfer Format-Survey Data.
The ITEM NAME on the form is a computer variable name used for the item by the MDC.
The COLUMNS indicate the columns on which the value of the item is to appear in the record on the magnetic tape. Data for different serial numbers must be written on different records.
The criteria for routine checking for possible errors in the data, applied by the MDC, are given in the "Edit Specifications" attached to the Serial Number Inventory Form.
Blank characters are not allowed in any field in the magnetic tape record. Permissible characters are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
Instructions for making corrections to data that have already been sent to the MDC are given in the Section 10: Data Transfer on Magnetic Tapes to the Data Centre.
Please contact the MDC for instructions if you cannot provide information as specified in this document.
These instructions should be followed carefully when creating a computer file for being transferred to the MDC. Please ensure that the instructions are for the version of the Serial Number History Transfer Format being used. Specific instructions are listed by item below:
