I understand that there is a caveat with the variable `ASECWT` in 2014. That issue is described here: [IPUMS CPS](https://cps.ipums.org/cps/three_eighths.shtml)

It seems that the variable `ASECWTH` is similarly affected. However, that issue is not mentioned in the documentation for `ASECWTH`. Just thought of letting you know.

Also, that page that documents the issue, [IPUMS CPS](https://cps.ipums.org/cps/three_eighths.shtml), uses the old names of the weight variables.

You’re right that ASECWTH also works differently in 2014. Thanks for pointing out that this isn’t explicitly documented. I’ll pass this and the info about outdated weight variables on to the IPUMS CPS team.
