Data set Abstract	To extract variables into a custom SAS file, comma delimited or tab delimited file: Click on the data set name PRI account holders may wish to access the files directly with a SAS program on the PC or Unix networks using one of the libname statements below:	Documentation/ Codebooks
1990 5PCT sample	Pums1990 5% sample	pums905p.txt

Do not attempt to access the full US 5pct Sample table in an interactive session. It is simply too large. A good strategy is to go through a trial extract on a single state -- selecting variables and establishing selection criteria. When you are satisfied with your code, save it and change the SAS table name to point to the US file -- pums905p.us

This is the 1993 re-release version of the PUMS data and was downloaded on 2/12/98 to PRI. It includes some changes from the earlier version involving the Texas file and the variables POWSTATE, MIGPUMA, PSA, MIGSTATE, POWPUMA.
