Drug Prices System – history file

This file contains data for the drug prices system, including drug prices and the dates these prices were effective for various quantities of a specific drug. The time span for the data is 1971 to 1976. These datasets have been converted from their legacy file structures and encoding schemes so they can be used by contemporary computers that are based upon the ASCII character-encoding scheme. Each dataset will require specialized software such as a statistical tool, to interpret and analyze the content in each file. The attached codebook describes the file’s structure and defines the variables contained in each field. Each code book is a compilation of the summary description of the dataset as provided by the creating department. As such, it is available in English only.
