FILES TO TRANSMIT TO EUROSTAT
The target variables will be sent to Eurostat in four different files:
1. household register (D)
2. personal register (R)
3. household data (H)
4. personal data (P)
The household register file (D) must contain every household (selected + substituted + split off (longitudinal only)), also those where the address could not be contacted or which could not be interviewed.
In the other files, records related to a household will only exist if the household has been contacted (DB120 = 11 (or DB110 = 1)) AND has a completed household interview in the household data file (H) (DB130 = 11) AND at least one member has complete data in the personal data file (P) (RB250 = 11, 12 or 13 = &gt; DB135 = 1). This member must be the selected respondent (RB245 = 2) if this mode of selection is used.
The personal register file (R) must contain a record for every person currently living in the household or temporarily absent. In the longitudinal component this file must contain also a record for every person who has moved out or died since the previous wave and for every person who lived in the household for at least three months during the income reference period and was not recorded otherwise in the register of this household.
The personal data file (P) must contain a record for every eligible person (RB245 = 1, 2 or 3) for whom the information could be completed from interview and/or registers (RB250 = 11, 12 or 13).
The technical format of transmission of the files to Eurostat will be the comma separated values format (CSV). The header row (first record) must contain the variable names.
