There is a variable which isolates those that were born in 1988 and those
with missing values (coded as 88).

         85 |        487        3.08       41.93
         86 |        526        3.33       45.26
         87 |        583        3.69       48.95
         88 |        650        4.12       53.07
         89 |        525        3.32       56.39
         90 |        722        4.57       60.96
         91 |        607        3.84       64.81
         92 |        610        3.86       68.67
         93 |        682        4.32       72.99
         94 |        692        4.38       77.37
         95 |        700        4.43       81.80
         96 |        711        4.50       86.30
         97 |        724        4.58       90.89
         98 |        638        4.04       94.93

history data

I have a substantive query in return, fired 
by idle curiosity. 

In your data for -year- (below) there is a big peak in 1988. 

On another variable, it seems that "88" 
was used to code missing, as you excluded
it from tabulation. Is it possible
that the real 88s for -year- (i.e. born in 1988) 
have got mixed up with missings (coded 88) ?
