A Sample Of The CNTS Statisical Data

The following are examples of the data's format after uncompression. The data is in a text file, with fixed length fields. Please note that all data fields consist of 9 or 18 characters. The last character in each data field contains a bibliographic reference or is blank. It is never coded as a number, and your analysis program should take into account the position of this column.

Some fields must be combined with others in order to make a complete value.
For example,
If field A has the value bbbbbbb1x (where b means blank and x could be any number or character which is not to be part of the calculation) and field B has the value 30000000B (where B means bibliographic tag which is not to be part of the calculation) then the correct combination would yield bbbbbbb1x30000000B which is 130,000,000.

The following fields may contain the character '<' in the bibliographic column; this means that that particular number is unscaled: Examples: Area in Square Kilometers, Area in Square Miles, etc ...
