       POST:  Flag - randomization failure in Post admin
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------

       On 11/16/00 it was discovered that the survey instrument
       program had an error in setting randomization.  Interviews
       --or, for some interviews administered over several days,
       portions of interviews --that were conducted prior to the
       correction of this error (in the 2nd VQ released on 11/16/00)
       were not administered with correctly functioning randomization.
       All cases administered prior to the correction of this error
       were administered as if only one choice in the randomization
       were available (in almost all cases, an identical choice).
       The randomization variables documented in V001752-V001810
       describe the types of randomizations affected.

       0. No randomization failure
       1. Post randomization failure in at least a portion of
          the interview

       9. No Post IW
