The annual tables are based on deaths in a single year and, except for census years, on postcensal population estimates rather than on the data from a decennial census, and the annual tables are calculated by abbreviated methods. Also there are 3 more categories in the decennial life tabls : other than white,other than white male and other than white female. Usage: To look up values of these data for a set of key variable values: (in SAS) : a) In your SAS program, before your data step add: %include 'lifexpa.fmt' ; b) set SUPERKEY to the combination of key variable values you want to look up. See "SUPERKEY=" under key variable description below. c) use a formatted put function of SUPERKEY with the data series format (See examples under "Usage" in detailed description of each data series).
