Roster Definition:
This item displays DU-members-roster for selection.
Roster Filter:
No filter; display all DU members. This can include DU members where PriorRndInelig=YES

exclude RU members who were deceased in a prior round as well as any RU members
marked as non-key living away, unrelated 1 person RU and incorrectly listed but continues
to show persons who could eventually rejoin the RU such as those who are in jail or outside
the country.

If a DU member is selected, set the DU member PID to the current round AltRespPID.
If ‘ALTERNATE RESPONDENT SAME AS CONTACT PERSON’ selected, set the
