Description

We are looking at the variable c_jbststat1 and analysing using STATA, we have also run in SPSS and are getting different numbers. It looks like something has happened in SPSS, is this something you could look at as a matter of urgency please as the data is being used for an imminent publication?

Many thanks

Angela
