Other Provision Flag Data Definition 2008/2009
A_OPROV
DATA DEFINITION
1. Indicates whether the aim is Other Provision approved for DCFS and DIUS Section 96 and 97.
PURPOSE
2. Identifies aims or units of aims that are approved for DCFS and DIUS Section 96 and 97 and whether they are internally or externally approved other provision.
RELEVANT COLLECTIONS
SOURCE DATA
3. The following variables are used as source data for the calculation of the Other Provision Flag.
| Field Name | Label | Dataset |
|---|
| A_FUN_ST | A_FUN_ST LSC Funding Status | Analytical LAD |
| A_AWARDB | A_AWARDB Awarding Body Code | Analytical LAD |
DERIVED VARIABLES AND DATASETS
4. The definition produces the following derived variable(s)
| Field Name | Label | Dataset |
|---|
| A_OPROV | A_OPROV - Aim Other Provision | Aims Standard File |
VALUES
5. The table below outlines the categories for A_OPROV
| A_OPROV value | Label |
|---|
| 0 | Aim is not Other Provision |
| 1 | Aim is Internally Certificated Other Provision |
| 2 | Aim is Externally Accredited Other Provision |
DETAILED DEFINITION
6. This groups together certain LSC Funding Status Codes (A_FUN_ST) to show whether they are aims or units of aims that are approved for DCFS and DIUS Section 96 and 97.
7. If the aims are approved then it looks at the Awarding Body (A_AWARDB) to determine whether they are internally or externally approved other provision.
Other Provision Flag Sample Code
1. The following SPSS code is provided to illustrate the Other Provision Flag data definition.
A_OPROV
2. The following table shows the steps required to derive A_OPROV
| Step | Condition | Action/Action if true | Action if false |
|---|
| 1 | Any | Set A_OPROV to 0 | |
| 2 | Does A_FUN_ST =1, or 2, or 3, or 6 | Go to 2 | |
| 3 | Does A_AWARDB = None | Set A_OPROV to 1 | Set A_OPROV to 2 |
3. The following SPSS code illustrates how to derive A_OPROV.
/* Other provision. Creates DV A_OPROV

IF(ANY(A_FUN_ST,'01','02','03','06')) A_APPROV = 1. /*Create new variable at aim level.
COMPUTE A_OPROV = 0. /*internally accredited – other provision.
IF (A_APPROV = 0 AND A_AWARDB = ‘NONE’) A_OPROV = 1. /*externally accredited – other provision.
IF (A_APPROV = 0 AND A_AWARDB <> ‘NONE’) A_OPROV = 2. VARIABLE LABELS A_OPROV 'A_OPROV – Aim Other Provision'.
VALUE LABELS A_OPROV
0 ‘Aim is not Other Provision’
1 ‘Aim is Internally Certificated Other Provision’
2 ‘Aim is Externally Accredited Other Provision’. |
