Consequently all other activities have shifted downward by 1. The mode of accommodation Fishing and Hunting lodge ( LODGENT) is now shown separately. In previous years this category was included in the Resort category (RESORTNT) Expenditures for TAXI can be shown separately under (RTAXI) for reallocated expenditures and (TAXI) for reported expenditures. However, these expenditures are still included within local transportation: (RLOCALTR) for reallocated expenditures and (LOCALTR) for reported expenditures. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIRECTORY: Répertoire(s): /dli/cts/1998/data, doc /dli/evc/1998/data, doc /cdiv = Census Division /dr = Division de recensement /cma = Census Metropolitan Area Level /rmr = Région métropolitaine de recensement /pers = Person Level /pers = personnes /prov = Provincial Level /prov = niveau provinciale /ptrip = Person - Trip /vper = voyages-personnes /treg = Tourism Region Level /regt = région touristique /trip = Trip /voy = voyages --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA FILE(S): DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/cdiv ' filename size description "cts98cdivv2.zip 1,813,436 compressed cdiv9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 146 Maximum line length DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/cma ' filename size description "cts98cmav2.zip 1,616,586 compressed cma9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 146 Maximum line length DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/pers ' filename size description "cts98persv2.zip 2,362,227 compressed pers9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 77 Maximum line length DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/prov ' filename size description "cts98provv2.zip 2,384,905 compressed prov9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 146 Maximum line length DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/ptrip ' filename size description "cts98ptripv2.zip 3,545,357 compressed ptri9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 310 Maximum line length DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/treg ' filename size description "cts98tregv2.zip 1,671,737 compressed treg9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 146 Maximum line length DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/data/trip ' filename size description "cts98tripv2.zip 2,098,328 compressed trip9801, 02, 03...12.dat" 257 Maximum line length _____________________________________________________________________ DOCUMENTATION: DIRECTORY: /dli/cts/1998/doc filename size type original name description cts98persrcl.txt 2 788 a spsspers.dat Record Layout for "Person" cts98ptripcbk.pdf 31 526 b Record Layout for "Person-Trip" cts98ptripcbk.wpd 92 152 b Record Layout for "Person-Trip" cts98triprcl.txt 13 520 a spsstrip.dat Record Layout for "Trip" cts98vistrcl.txt 4 550 a spssvist.dat Record Layout for "Census Division, Census Metropolitan Area Level, Provincial Level and Tourism Region Level" cts98perscbk.txt 19 187 a persmic.txt Codebook for "Person" cts98ptripcbk.txt 56 325 a ptripmic.txt Codebook for "Person-Trip" cts98cmacbk.txt 12 568 a vismicc.txt Codebook for "Census Metropolitan Area Level" cts98trcbk.txt 17 248 a vismict.txt Codebook for "Tourism Region Level" cts98provcbk.txt 10 811 a vismicp.txt Codebook for "Provincial Level" cts98cdcbk.txt 10 934 a vismiccd.txt Codebook for "Census Division" cts98var.xls 343 040 b cvs97.xls Approximate Sampling Variability Tables and Person weight COMMAND FILE(S): DIRECTORY: /DLI/cts/1998/doc filename size type original name description cts98cdiv.sps 3 309 a cts98cdiv.sps spss code "Census Division" cts98cma.sps 3 697 a cts98cma.sps spss code "Census Metropolitan Area Level" cts98pers.sps 26 017 a cts98pers.sps spss code "Person" cts98prov.sps 3 691 a cts98prov.sps spss code "Provincial Level" cts98ptrip.sps 41 866 a cts98ptrip.sps spss code "Person-Trip" cts98treg.sps 3 704 a cts98treg.sps spss code "Tourism Region Level" cts98trip.sps 23 449 a cts98trip.sps spss code "Trip" NOTE: - file(s) with extension .xls are Binary and .txt, sps are Ascii Data Download: November 30, 2000 WL.
