If Date of Mult Tumors is blank, Date of Mult Tumors Flag must = blank, 11, 12, or 15
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 does not require Date of Mult Tumors because it was not required by the SEER for cases diagnosed prior to 2007. Date of Mult Tumors Flag may both be blank, indicating the date was intentionally not collected. However, if either field is populated, they must be in agreement.
If both fields are blank or not valid, the edit is skipped.
If Date of Mult Tumors is populated,then Date of Mult Tumors Flag must be blank.
If Date of Mult Tumors is blank and Date of Mult Tumors Flag is not blank, then Flag must = 11 (information on multiple tumors not collected/not applicable for this site), 12 (patient was diagnosed with multiple tumors and the date is unknown), or 15 (single tumor).
In the SEER*Edits software, the title of this edit is: IF224.
