The STF3 Tables Database, which defines the Table and Field structure for the STF3 data, is too large to reasonably include in one HTML file (over 800K), so it has been divided into file segments below corresponding to the tables and fields included on each of the 34 files in Summary Tape File 3. To locate a particular data item, first check the STF3 Table Listing to determine the table and file segment which contain the desired information, then check the appropriate file segment for a listing of field contents and codes for the data.
