specification

General information on the inter-field editing of date and date flag fields:

The purpose of this inter-field edit is to verify that a date field and the corresponding date flag field are in agreement. A blank flag field indicates that the date was either filled in or intentionally not collected. Otherwise the date flag should include a 2-digit code indicating the reason the date field is blank.

This edit requires Date of Last Contact; that is, it must always be populated OR its corresponding flag must indicate that the date is unknown.

1. If Date of Last Contact is populated, then Date of Last Contact Flag must be blank.

2. If Date of Last Contact is blank, the Date of Last Contact Flag must = 12, indicating the Date of Last Contact is unknown.
