SHS 2005 vs. SHS 2006

Question
Here's the silliest of silly questions - I'm looking at the SPSS syntax
provided to us for the 2005 and the 2006 SHS PUMF file.  Why is it in 2005
all the variables are coded as string and in 2006 they're coded as numeric?
I missed this the first time - but my faculty didn't :)

Answer

FYI - the SPSS syntax for SHS 2006 has been changed so that it is consistent
with the coding for earlier years.  I will be sending out an announcement to
this effect soon.
