* Flag up any NCDS cases with an event prior to March 1991, who took part in the NCDS 5
survey.
* For them we delete this extraneous information, by setting the 'key' variable to 40, so that
blank data is copied into that
* birth slot (we know no-one in NCDS had a birth event in the 40th slot).
* If they weren't interviewed in 1991, we leave the data as it is anyway.

* Re-arrange all 39 pregnancy history variables so that all the other information about each
outcome is
* in the slot corresponding to the re-arranged birth date. Need first to copy variables to their
v-prefix vectors, use loop
* structure to copy them to their correct position (x-prefix vectors), then copy them back to
their ordinary names from
* the x-prefix vectors.
* Note this process only occurs for cases where we know the outcomes have ben wrongly
bunched in the same pregnancy,
* or where the outcomes are in the wrong chronological order. Even if this is the case, we
don't proceed if there are any
* outcomes with a year entered as '9999', or where we know there are any true multiple births,
or any dubious multiple
* births (i.e. >3 days but less than 9 months apart). All these latter cases are flagged for
manual scrutiny.
