        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.


        The purpose of this variable is to incorporate maximum occupational
        data, which may be for past OR present employment.  The difference
        between the data in VCF0115 [which remains unchanged] and data in
        VCF0151 [new var] is that VCF0151 also includes some occupation data
        excluded from VCF0115.  The occupation data present in VCF0151 but
        absent from VCF0115 are for Rs considered "students" and
        "housewives"-- either nonworking (past employment) or presently
        working some hours (1966-1970: any number of hours; 1972 and later:
        less than 20 hours per week).  Occupational data corresponding to
        such respondents was not present at all in 1952,1956,1958,1960,1964
        studies, for which VCF0115 and VCF0151 are identical.

        NOTE: TO RENDER VCF0151 COMPARABLE TO VCF0115, USE VCF0116,CF0118

            if VCF0150 in(70,71,75) then VCF0151=6.
