i_macurr 'inapplicable' cases

Description
Hi
I am struggling to understand which respondents have been marked ‘inapplicable’ for the question ‘In which country does your mother currently live?’ in wave 9 (migrationbackground_w9.macurr, i_macurr)
The question universe in the online information about the variable states:
if (FF_UKBORN = 5 & ff_1STWAVE <=6 & (GRIDVARIABLES.FBORN = 1 & GRIDVARIABLES.IEMB 1)) | (FF_UKBORN = 5 & (ff_1STWAVE = 7|8)) | INITIALCONDITIONS.UKBORN = 5 (Respondent is foreign born and entered the study at wave 6 or earlier and household is in the Foreign Born Sample but not in the IEMB sample OR Respondent is foreign born and entered the study at wave 7 or later)
and if FAMILYBACKGROUND.MACOB > 4 | FF_MACOB > 4 (Respondent's mother not born in the UK)
I think for the text to match up with the code the point with ‘& GRIDVARIABLES.IEMB 1’ Should read “& ‘& GRIDVARIABLES.IEMB=2’ [as I_IEMB is coded 1 for ‘yes’ and 2 for ‘no’]?
I’m also not finding that being having either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for being in the ethnic minority boost (as well as being foreign born, entering the study at wave 6 or earlier and the participant’s mother being born abroad) clearly differentiates which participants do and do not have ‘inapplicable’ for this variable.
It would be great if you could clarify which respondents were asked to respond to this question and under what circumstances they would be coded ‘inapplicable’.
Many thanks
