Hi Susan,
Karl covered it well. Most of the lingering male statdate or census
errors that Leah passed on to me seem to have cleaned up just fine in
the last conversion. There are probably a 12-15 quirky individual
errors lingering from the most recent conversion. Most I can fix and
some are flagged for you and Jeanne specifically to review. I'll try to
get those out this week.
The ranks errors are mostly ADF ones, but also some ADM, which may be
your department. I don't know much about them right now.
The remaining "blocks" of errors are specific to pregnancies, cycles,
and sexskin data. Some may disappear with the cleanup of those
remaining individual errors mentioned above.
