Mnemonic Change: Colombia - GDP(O) - CDASA
Friday, 21 Sep 2018 11:21 ET
By Jaclyn Zylka
Summary
September 2018 -- For the output approach to GDP including GVA by industry for Colombia, to properly denote seasonal adjustment, we have corrected mnemonics and metadata (188 quarterly series impacted).
Detail

During a routine quality check, we detected that these series are reported using dual adjustment of "calendar day adjusted and seasonally adjusted", not solely "seasonally adjusted". We have uniformly amended the mnemonics and metadata. There is no change to the values.

  1. Mnemonic: Seasonal adjustment character:
    • A » C
  2. Metadata: Adjustment symbol in the unit-descriptor:
    • SA » CDASA

Scope of change:

  • 188 concepts
  • 1 geo

If you have a legacy basket or other retrievals, existing references will now return "series not found" errors. You will need to edit the basket to use the amended mnemonics; to assist, the basket editor includes a "find and replace" tool. 

The series reside in the historical catalog (Colombia » National Accounts » by Value Add » Ref 2015), and changes include, for example (old » new):

  • NALSGDPAQ.ICOL      » NALSGDPCQ.ICOL      = National accounts: Production approach - GDP [B.1b], (Bil. COP, CDASA)
  • NACSGVA029A2AQ.ICOL » NACSGVA029A2CQ.ICOL = GVA - Preparation of coffee products [029], (Bil. 2015 COP, CDASA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" made that accepts a mnemonic.
