Parents: Available choices are: "Biological only", and "Biological and adoptive". When "Biological and adoptive" is selected and both parents are the same, then adoptive parents id is set to zero; this exists for less than one dozen cases.
Generation Map: "Individual to parents", "Individual to grandparents" and "Individual to great grandparents" are available. Based on the selection, a row in the output file is a set of individuals (individual's ID68 and PN) from selected generations.
Map Type: Balanced and unbalanced map types are available from the process. A generation map with non-missing data from any generation is called a balanced generation map. A generation map with missing data from third (grandparent) or higher generations is called an unbalanced generation map.
Map Format: Available file format options are: "long" and "wide." In a long file format, each relationship pair (e.g., focal person-parent pair) is a separate row. The wide file format provides the data with one row per focal person.
Output File Type: Following output file options are available:
SAS V9 System File
ASCII with ...
SAS Statements (.sas)
SPSS Statements (.sps)
STATA Statements (.do)
EXCEL spreadsheet
Merge GID and CDS Maps -- Wide Format: When this check box is checked, a customized GID map and CDS map file are merged for CDS researchers. This is an individual or child level file available in the "wide" format only. The number of rows in this file are equal to the total number of unique children from CDS 1997, 2002, and 2007.

Propective Inter-generation Mapping: User Selection.
Parents: Available choices are: "Biological only", and "Biological and adoptive". When "Biological and adoptive" is selected and both parents are the same, then adoptive parents id is set to zero; this exists for less than one dozen cases.
Prospective Generation Map: "Parent to child", "Grandparent to child" and "Great grandparent to child" are available. Based on the selection, a row in the output file is a set of individuals (individual's ID68 and PN) from selected prospective generations.
Map Type: Balanced and unbalanced map types are available from the process. A generation map with non-missing data from any generation is called a balanced generation map. A generation map with missing data from third (grandparent) or higher generations is called an unbalanced generation map.
Map Format: Available file format option is "long". In a long file format, key variables (1968 interview number and person numner) from relationship set (row) is unique and non-missing.
