Description

Definition
Like DOB1STKIDCMC (V211), DOB1STKIDCMC_NP reports the century month code (CMC) for the date of the woman's first birth. However, DOB1STKIDCMC_NP is country-specific to Nepal, as the data are recorded using the Nepali calendar. For most countries, the CMC data for the date of the woman's first birth are recorded using the Gregorian calendar. The Nepali calendar is roughly 57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar.

For detailed discussion of the meaning and calculation of CMC values for the date of the woman's first birth, see DOB1STKIDCMC (V211).
