Data Corrections Log Sample

The log includes an entry for each change to response data and for each interview delete and undelete. In addition, it includes entries for modifications made prior to the time an interview was added to the warehouse. If revisions are made in a Local Warehouse and then revised interviews are transferred to a Central Warehouse via a shipment file, the Central Warehouse contains a record of all changes.

The log feature is automatically turned on for all data files that can be modified: Local Warehouse files, shipment files, and interview data files.
