Flow Chart For the Construction of Thai 1970-80 Merged Analysis Files

This flow chart is intended to assist personnel and others with access to the project data and program files to understand the construction of the final analysis dataset. Each of the data files is represented in upper case letters and each of the program files is represented in lower case letters with the extension sps after the file name.
