DETAILED DEFINITION

6. Refer to Learner Level Delivery Location Postcode (L_A23) data definition for information on how it's derived.

7. The Learner Level Delivery Location Postcode (L_A23) is matched to the postcode file for that year to obtain the Local Office (L_DPLLSC), the region (L_DPREG), Local Authority (L_DPLA) and the three local authority ward fields L_DPWARD, L_DPWA01 and L_DPWA03, that the delivery location is based in.

8. Refer to Learner Level Delivery Location Postcode (L_A23) data definition for information on how it is derived.


Location of the Delivery Provider (Learner Level) Sample Code

1. The following SPSS code is provided to illustrate the Location of the Delivery Provider (Learner Level) data definition.

L_DPLLSC, L_DPWARD, L_DPWA01, L_DPWA03, L_DPREG, L_DPLA

2. The following table shows the steps required to derive L_DPREG

Step Condition Action/Action if true Action if false
1 If L_DPLLSC=2 L_DPREG=NC  
2 If L_DPLLSC=3 L_DPREG=NS
3 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (60 to 110) L_DPREG=EE  
4 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (10 to 50) L_DPREG=EM  
5 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (120 to 160) L_DPREG=GL  
6 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (170 to 200) L_DPREG=NE  
7 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (210 to 250) L_DPREG=NW  
8 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (260 to 310) L_DPREG=SE  
9 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (320 to 370) L_DPREG=SW  
10 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (380 to 430) L_DPREG=WM  
11 If L_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (440 to 470) L_DPREG=YH  
12 If L_DPLLSC=490 L_DPREG=NO  
13 If no value in L_DPLLSC L_DPREG=NA  

3. The following SPSS code illustrates how to match Location of the Delivery Provider fields on to the Learner data set.

GET FILE ‘………………..LEARNERS data set’.
SORT CASES BY L_A23.

/* Rename the delivery providers postcode so that it matches the name of the postcode field in the postcode file.
RENAME VARIABLES (L_A23=postcode).
MATCH FILES /FILE=*
 /TABLE = ‘…………………………POSCTODE data set.sav’
 /BY POSTCODE.
RENAME VARIABLES (LLSC=L_DPLLSC) (LAUAcode=L_DPLA) (WARD_91=L_DPWARD) (WARD_01=L_DPWA01) (WARD_04=L_DPWA03) (POSTCODE=L_A23) (LSC_91=XLSC_91).
