Top of Page

Type and length: Date(8)
Description: Date on which the marital state ended. For unended marital states, a date in the following reference year will be used.

The standard SLID reserved values are assigned, when necessary, to the component fields, and not to the complete date variable. So it is possible to have a mixture of valid values and reserved codes in a "date" type variable. This variable is not collected but will be derived through processing.
