Use the DLINE1 variable.  It contains either the line number of the person
who is the respondent, or  (prior to 1997) a code for the type of
respondent for a vacant interview, such as "91" = landlord.

Since the automated instrument has been used, the respondent for vacant or
URE interviews is stored in a new variable, named RESPTYP.  Unfortunately,
this has a different set of codes than the old DLINE1 codes.

The codebooks for the respective years contain the meaning of the
DLINE1/RESPTYP codes.

All-
I am interested in identifying if someone other than the reference person
for a household answered the survey.  Is there a field in the AHS that
provides this information?

Thanks,
Drew
