****************************************************************************

ALLOCATION FLAGS -  See Appendix P - especially Memo122 and COR603a for
                    allocations for industry and occupation variables.

          Allocation flags indicate whether some method other than
          "straight" coding was used to assign a code to a variable.

****************************************************************************

NOTE:     No flags were necessary for Q48-48b (R's job aspirations
          for self), Q89-89a (R's high school job aspirations), Q122
          (R's job aspirations for child), and Q123 (expected job of
          child).  Therefore, ALOC4, ALOC9, ALOC12 and ALOC13 were
          eliminated from the analysis file.

ALLOCATION FLAGS FOR CENTURY MONTHS

NOTE:     See Appendix C for detailed instructions.  If a month was
          missing, the month of June was assigned unless it would
          produce inconsistencies in the data.  Any case which had a
          month assigned for purposes of creating century months was
          flagged.  See Appendix C - COR607 for Century Month Allocation
          Flags and note that these flags reflect original source
