Dear,

Some individuals register an interview date which is outside the one of the corresponding wave (as seen in Table 1 of this document (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/sites/default/files/downloads/documentation/mainstage/user-guides/mainstage-waves-1-7-user-guide.pdf). I have identified the following pidp, with my suggested recoding (in Stata format) as a temporary (and surely imperfect) solution:

replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 218018897 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 218018901 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2013 if pidp = 272880611 & wave  2013
replace istrtdaty = 2013 if pidp = 272880607 & wave  2013
replace istrtdaty = 2013 if pidp = 545270931 & wave  2013
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 830037245 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 830037249 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 830037253 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 816464447 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 816464451 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 816464455 & wave  2012
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 1157098887 & wave  2011
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 1157098895 & wave  2011
replace istrtdaty = 2012 if pidp = 1157098899 & wave  2011

The above assumes only the year is wrongly coded. Month is fine.

There might be more. Most of this errors seem to occur in wave 4.

Best regards,
Luis.
