Due to a coding error in the original country data of Cyprus, the coding of the variable V218 "R: Religious services: how often" is reversed for data from Cyprus. To obtain a valid coding of these cases, you could for example execute the following SPSS code on the integrated file:
do if v3=29.
recode v218 (1=6) (2=5) (3=4) (4=3) (5=2) (6=1) (else=copy).
end if.
This relates to the current version 1.0 of the ZA3190 file (no version variable in the data set).
