The MONICA Data Centre (MDC) has reviewed the data identified above, and checked
them by using the criteria of the MDC edit specifications. Possible inconsistencies
as indicated below were noted. Please review these carefully and record the
confirmation for a correct value or the correction for an erroneous value in the
space provided for the "CORRECT VALUE".
If the value reported to the MDC ("PRESENT VALUE") is correct, please tick the first
box of the "CORRECT VALUE" (|_v_|). If the "PRESENT VALUE" is erroneous please enter
the correct value in the spaces provided, without leaving any of the boxes blank. You
must confirm or correct every item queried below. Suspect values which cannot be shown
to be erroneous should be confirmed to be correct.
If you find errors in your data which are not reported on this form, please report
them to the MDC using the MANUAL ERROR CORRECTION FORM FOR DATA TRANSFERRED ON A
MAGNETIC TAPE (Form: G).
The item "CONSTRAINT STATUS" on this form indicates the present quality status of the
record with respect to the CONSTRAINT in question, and can have the following codes :
1: Data correct with respect to the constraint (not reported on this form).
2: Data unusual but confirmed by the MCC. Such values are expected to be correct.
3: Data unusual and has not been confirmed by the MCC.
E. If you completed the column CORRECT VALUE by hand, please fill in the boxes below

This form was designed to facilitate communication between the MONICA Data Centre (MDC) and the MONICA Collaborating Centre (MCC) about possible errors or uncertainties for data previously reported by the MCC to the MDC on a magnetic tape. It is initiated by the MDC, which completes parts A, B, C, D, and the other columns except "CORRECT VALUE" of the list of constraint violations and sends the otherwise blank form to the MCC. The MCC should then complete the Error Correction Form and return it to the MDC. The MCC should keep a copy of the completed Error Correction Form.
For errors detected by the MCC but not detected by the MDC, Form G: Manual Error Correction Form for Data Transferred on a Magnetic Tape should be used.
This form is sent to the MCC, with items A, B, C, D, completed with a list of constraint violations, soon after the MDC receives the data from the MCC. It is used only if there are questions about the information provided. The remainder of the form is to be completed at the MCC by a person designated by the Principal Investigator to perform this task.
This form and the parts to be completed by the MDC are computer generated. Starting from page 2, the format has a common heading as follows:
A:___ B:___ C:___ D:___ PAGE:__
The data in the heading corresponds to items A, B,... of the first page of the form. Also, the heading indicates the page number.
This form can be completed either by typewriter or by hand. In either case the recorded information should be examined carefully for both correctness and legibility. Further, since it may be necessary to photocopy the form, perhaps several times, as a routine part of processing and providing reserve copies, it is essential that the recorded information should stand out clearly. Hence, please use a dark ribbon if a typewriter is used, or a dark ball-point pen if the form is completed by hand.
This form includes blank spaces where you are to record the requested information. None of these spaces should be left blank, except when a value is correct, when the first box only is ticked. If you have no information to provide for a specific item, then so indicate according to the instructions for that item.
These instructions should be followed carefully when completing the indicated version of the Computer Generated Error Correction Form for Data Transferred on a Magnetic Tape.
Please ensure that the instructions are for the version of the form being completed.
Specific instructions are listed by item below.
A. Form Name . . : Core Data Transfer Format-Population Survey Data Form Identification Code. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: 04
This item is filled in by the MDC. It identifies the form for which the data was provided. Note that the "Core Data Transfer Format-Population Survey Data, Code 04" is an example, and other forms may appear in their place.
B. MONICA Collaborating Centre : POL-MONICA-Warsaw Code : 36 C. MONICA Reporting Unit . . . : Warsaw Praga South Code : 01
These items are filled in by the MDC. They identify the Collaborating Centre and Reporting Unit for which the data was provided. Note that the "POL-MONICA-Warsaw, 36" and "Warsaw Praga South, 01" are an example, and other MCCs and RUs may appear in their place.
D. Date of printing this form . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 240991
E. If you completed the column CORRECT VALUE by hand, please fill in the boxes below
with the relevant numbers.

This item was added as an attempt to help read hand-written entries that may appear elsewhere on this form. If you are entering data on this form by typewriter, leave this item blank. If you are completing the form by hand, please write each number above the digits as shown in the example of a completed form. Then compare the entries elsewhere on the form with those as written for this item and change those that may be confusing or unclear.

Number of erroneous records: 2
Number of constraint violations: 2
The first 5 columns of this page are filled by the MDC. One line is reserved for each possible inconsistency noted by the MDC.
Column "Serial number"
indicates the serial numbers of the observations with possible inconsistencies.
Column "Constraint name"
indicates the name of the MDC database constraint which is being violated. The
constraints have been described in the "Edit Specifications" which have been
distributed to the MCCs separately.
Column "Constraint status"
is described on the first page of the computer generated error correction form.
Column "Item name"
indicates the name of the data item of the possibly inconsistent value, as given in the
data transfer form identified in item A of this form.
Column "Present value"
indicates the value being queried by the MDC which is the value that it presently has in
its files.
The column "Correct value"
is to be completed by the MCC. The MCC should check all the possible inconsistencies
reported on this form against the original documents in which the data were recorded.
If the value, as written in column "Present value" of this form, is correct, a tick ("v") should be coded in the first column of the "Correct value".
If the value of "Present value" is incorrect the correct value should be coded in "Correct value".
Queried values which cannot be shown to be erroneous should not be changed. Instead, such values, even though very unusual, should be confirmed.
No space in the form should be left blank, except when a value is correct when the first box only is ticked.
This form should only be used to correct errors identified by the MDC and printed on this form. If other errors are discovered they should be corrected using Form G: Manual Error Correction Form for Data Transferred on a Magnetic Tape.
Correcting mistakes: If a mistake is made in entering information for this item, please draw a single line through the erroneous entry and provide the correct information immediately to the right. Even if only one digit of the code number is incorrect, please draw a line through the entire number and re-write the correct number immediately to the right as indicated in the completed example of the form following these instructions.
