Problems with latest release

Data inconsistency
Description
Dear UKHLS support,
is it my problem or in the BHPS files of the latest release some variables are missing from indall or indresp, e.g
BHPS identifier or weights (-Xe)?
Thank you and best,
Lydia
I am writing this because I noticed that many variables either changed their name (age_dv-->age in indall) or were deleted (xewghte in indall) or changed their place (lrwght was in indresp before).
Thank you very much. Best, Lydia

Lydia,
BHPS weights now follow naming convention of UKHLS. So find them in the end of the file under 91 or 01 weights. They are largely the same as before, though the weights have been updated with mortality correction.
Hope this helps,
Olena

Hi Lydia,
The missing BHPS identifier PID is a separate issue. It was accidentally dropped, the issue will be fixed in the November 2022 release of the data.
Best wishes,

Thank you. Could you also confirm that the renaming of some variables (apart from weights) does not affect data? I currently compared old and new release ages and they are identical.
Sorry I intend that I compared age_dv and age
