The ECLS-K kindergarten through third grade longitudinal file is now available on SodaPop.

While attempting to prepare these data for SodaPop, a PRI programmer discovered that the extraction software was not working properly on any of the CD-ROMs in the PRI Data Archive collection. A new CD-ROM with a later publication date was obtained, but the same problem occurred. The programmer contacted the ECLS project and received program files to fix the extraction error. Please note, however, that these file have to be installed by someone with administrator privileges. As the majority of departmental machines do not allow users that privilege level, it is recommended that users work with the SodaPop version of the file (full SAS dataset access on /home/sas_data and \\paris\sas_data - see the ECLS SodaPop Web page for full path to SAS library).
