Oh, Yeah. Those are two I need Susan to review, but I waited too long
and Jeanne said she was away from the data this week. Anyway, here they
are for Susan when the data is accessible again.
Karl, you may want to look at my notes on the errors too because each
has a little programming piece I don't fully understand.

psql:<stdin>:2109: ERROR: MCC: 1990-01-29: Statdate of live individuals
must be = 1993-09-30, the last census date
Known error waiting for Susan’s review
I can only find a single paper record of McCoy around the time of the
error. He shows up in Kojack’s group census dated 1990-01-05. After
that, I can’t find any paper records for Kojack’s group at all, although
in the census table, he continues to show up in Kojack’s group until
1993-09-30. This is what is generating the error
The census table has a transition between a status of S (SUSAN) to a
status of E (Ending date) on the census day 1990-01-05. *This seems to
be a question that only Susan can resolve. *According to the*
*documentation for “Data Management Systems”, the data in Census marked
S come from Susan’s DISPERSE database. By running the program
“buildmembers” in FoxPro, the statdate should have been automatically
updated from the census table to biograph, I believe. However, perhaps
there is a programming rule to prohibit this update when the status is
something other than “C” or “A”...?
psql:<stdin>:126: ERROR: WAR: BIOGRAPH.Statdate cannot be less than
(before) RANKDATES.Ranked
Known error waiting for Susan’s review
Susan said to give him a ranked by date = 1977-01-19, the day he
immigrated. There is no record of him in the Ranks table and no data
filled in for the “RANKED” column in the Biograph table....so how the
statdate be less than a non-existent rank date? I’m not sure what to
make of this error. There are other individuals who have no ranking and
no rankdate, but they did not show up as errors.
*Karl may have to take a look at this if it doesn't make sense to Susan
either. *
Note that Jeanne still needs to confirm this male was an adult at the
time monitoring began.
