Hi Karl,
This is the file I uploaded to babase_copy while we were on the phone
that day. If I query census for ZAN, he is absent through July 20th,
but he never shows up as present for the rest of the census days in that
month. Likewise, if I query APO, none of his July records show up at
all. It seems that the blanks in the file are not being interpreted as
"presences".
