* Use variable totbaby to calculate number of babies carried in total, by checking each

* of the 40 possible slots for any date or outcome.

compute totbaby=0.

format totbaby(f1.0).

loop #i=1 to 40.

If (not(sysmis(vprega(#i))) or not(sysmis(vprgey(#i))) or not(sysmis(vprgem(#i))) or
not(sysmis(vprged(#i))))totbaby=totbaby+1.

end loop.

* Initialise variable 'noyrflag' to log cases where any outcome has a year '9999'.

* These cases must be excluded from the automatic re-ordering,and scrutinised manually.

compute noyrflag=0.

format noyrflag(f1.0).

compute pre91flg=0.

format pre91flg(f1.0).

* Construct date-of-birth variables which can be measured ordinally and subtracted from each
other,

* using yrmoda function, which produces number of days elapsed since 15/10/1582.

* Flag up cases where year=9999, or prega (outcome)=9 or 8, for manual scrutiny.
