General

The MORGAM Data Centre (MDC) checks all data received from the MORGAM Participating Centres (MPC) according to these edit specifications at the time when the data are included into the MORGAM data base. All possible inconsistencies revealed in the data are reported to the MPC using Computer Generated Error Correction Form, or by other means if the number of possible errors in the data is very large.

Explanations for Edit Specifications

Every record entered into the MDC data base is subjected to the constraints listed below. If the data do not meet the conditions of the constraint, an error message will be generated. Such error messages are printed on a Computer Generated Error Correction Form.

Data values which do not meet the conditions of a constraint, are either incorrect or unusual. All data values printed on the Computer Generated Error Correction Form should be checked from the source of the data. However, such values should not be changed unless they can be shown to be incorrect.
