Respondent Record with Mother and Father Variables: 2000

*   STEP 1:  PARENT INFORMATION FOR FAMILY RESPONDENTS' PARENTS
use c:\temp\H00D_H

keep if GPN_FAM~=""

gen PN  =GPN_FAM
gen GPN_SP=GPN_NFAM

*   KEEP PARENT VARIABLES OF INTEREST
keep    HHID PN GPN_SP GSUBHH G2122 G2132

*   STEP 2:  PARENT INFORMATION FOR NON-FAMILY RESPONDENTS' PARENTS
use c:\temp\H00D_H
keep if GPN_NFAM~=""

gen PN  =GPN_NFAM
gen GPN_SP=GPN_FAM

*   COPY PARENT-IN-LAW VARIABLES TO OUTPUT VARIABLES LOCATIONS

replace G2132=G2319

*   KEEP PARENT VARIABLES OF INTEREST
keep    HHID PN GPN_SP GSUBHH G2122 G2132
sort  HHID PN
save NFAMR, replace

*   Step 3:  Concatenate two parent files
use famr
sort HHID PN
merge HHID PN using nfamr
drop _merge
sort HHID PN
save parents2, replace
