prephelp.sas
prephelp98.sas
helpimp.sas
helpimp98.sas
helpimpR.sas
helphours.sas

The following programs on /nfs/sch-data1/projects/public-data-projects/FEM/weihanch/update2012/FEM_Sas/HRS/Helper/Helper 
clean the helper data for each year.

helper98.sas
helper00.sas
helper02.sas
helper04.sas
helper06.sas
helper08.sas
helper10.sas
helper12.sas

	These programs clean helper data for each wave 1998 (w4) to 2008 (w9).
	Include files: 	helper.fmt 
									cleanhlp02_.inc (02-10)
		       				cleanhlp.mac (98/00)
	Input: helper module (_hp) from raw HRS data. 
					In 1998 and 2000 the file name is h[yy]e_hp.sas7bdat
					From 2002-2012 the file name is h[yy]g_hp.sas7bdat
	Output: helper[yy]
==================================================================

All programs include the following to set up libnames, etc:

	[root]fem_env.sas

Run the following programs in the given order to make impute helper hours:

prephelp98.sas
prephelp.sas
	Prepares data for imputations.  Will impute hours helped.
	Note in 1998 spouse hours helping are not reported.
	Include files: [root]/FEM_Sas/HRS/Fmt/helper.fmt
	               [root]/FEM_Sas/HRS/Fmt/rkid.fmt, 
		             helprange.inc (ranges for brackets)
		             prephelp.mac 
		             prephelp98.mac
	Input: 
		/sch-stor1-a/data-library/public-data/HRS/SAS/Helper/helper[yy].sas7bdat, where [yy] is 98-12
		/sch-stor1-a/data-library/public-data/HRS/SAS/rndhrs_k.sas7bdat
		/sch-stor1-a/data-library/public-data/HRS/SAS/formats.sas7bcat [formats library]
	Output: 
	  [root]/input_data/prephelp[yy].sas7bdat

helpimp98.sas
helpimp.sas
	Impute helper hours.
	Note in 1998, 2000 spouses are used as donors since no hours are available for 98
	Include files: 
		       helprange.inc (ranges for brackets)
		       helpimp.mac
	Input: 
		[root]/prephelp[yy].sas7bdat, where [yy] is 98-12
	Output: 
		[root]/helpimp[yy].sas7bdat, where [yy] is 98-12

helpimpR.sas
        summarizes hours of help last month to the respondent level, 
        from respondent-helper level.
	Include files: 
	Input: 
		[root]helpimp[yy].sas7bdat, yy=98 to 12
	Output: 
		[root]helpimpR[yy].sas7bdat

helphours.sas
	Merge total hours helped last month across years.
	Include files: 
		[root]/FEM_Sas/HRS/Mac/wvlist.mac
	Input: 
		[root]helpimpR[yy].sas7bdat, where [yy] is 98-12
		/sch-stor1-a/data-library/public-data/HRS/SAS/rndhrs_n.sas7bdat
		/sch-stor1-a/data-library/public-data/HRS/SAS/formats.sas7bcat [formats library]
	Output: 
		[root]/helphours.sas7bdat

Programs to check things:
	 helphours_chk.sas	check that spouse hours and non-spouse hours total helphours
	 helphoursF.sas			Make some tables of hours by age for 2004 (Wave 7)
	 helphoursM.sas			Run descriptive statistics of hours by age for 2004 (Wave 7)
