Download a ZIP file containing the SAS code (LIFE_EXPECTATION.SAS) along with some sample data and parameter files.

The sample data and parameter files are exactly the same as those distributed with the program, except that the bottom half (the life expectations) have been deleted from POPMORT.DAT and XAGE=0 has been added to TABU.PAR (so that SURV will run without requiring the expectations of life).

LIFE_EXPECTATION.SAS is configured to read POPMORT.DAT and write a file called POPMORT.NEW which contains the expectations of life.
