2016-1-14	LV_REG (Country specific region: Latvia)	In case of Latvia, value labels of LV_REG (Region: Latvia) are reversed. Please modify the scale as follows and keep the data as it is: 1. Riga, 2. Vidzeme, 3. Kurzeme, 4. Zemgale, 5. Latgale	2018-10-26	Fixed.
2016-11-24	MARITAL (Marital status) - Great Britain: Data error	There is a substantial data error in the British variable on marital status. Please contact isspservice@gesis.org to be provided with the correct version.	2018-10-26	Fixed.

2018-2-1	Information on identified duplicated records in ISSP datasets:	Please, check in document ‘ZA1490_All_Overview_Duplicated Records.xlsx’ in tab ‘Data & Documents’, subtab ’Other Documents’, whether the dataset at hand contains any identified duplicated records.

2018-2-9	Serious problems in several variabes of the Dutch data: V16,V26,V36,V46,V66,V76,V86,V88	We urgentyl advise not to use the following variables of the Dutch data for further analysis: V16,V26,V36,V46,V66,V76,V86,V88. A mismatch of ID numbers has been detected. Revised variables will be provided soon.	2018-10-26	Fixed, see errata of 2018-10-25.
2018-10-24	V4 (Country/ Sample Code ISO 3166): Difficulties with variable format	The format for variable V4 in former times caused difficulties in online analyses in ZACAT (GESIS Online Study Catalogue) and led to problems in transformation procedures between different statistical programs.	2018-10-26	The format for variable V4 has been changed into F5.0
2018-10-24	Belgium: ISO 3166 cannot be applied for the subsample of Belgium (Flanders)	No ISO standard code is available for the subsample of Belgium (Flanders) as in the Flemish sample primarily residents from Flanders (ISO 3166: BE-VLG) but in addition to them also residents from Brussels were interviewed, via selection on Dutch addresses. The non-ISO 3166 code ´BE-FLA´ will be used instead.	2018-10-26	The formerly assigned abbreviation ´BE-VLG´, used for Flanders in the variable labels and the value labels, was replaced by ´BE-FLA´.

2018-10-24	SPISCO88 (S-P: Occupation ILO,ISCO 1988 4-digit) - Data error: No value label for code 8287	Since code 8287 is no official ISCO88 code, the value label is missing for this code. By recourse to the original data, the true occupation could be found out and should be coded into code 8290.	2018-10-26	Fixed.
2018-10-24	WRKHRS (R: Hours worked weekly): Variable format not well performed	WRKHRS includes national data with decimal numbers and needs to be rounded to meet the ISSP standard.	2018-10-26	Fixed.
2018-10-24	GB_SIZE (Size of community) - Great Britain: Scale reversed	For Great Britain, the scale for the size of community did not meet the standard direction (from big communities to small communities resp. from densely populated to sparsely populated) but was coded reversely. The categories 1-4 should be recoded: (1=4) (2=3) (3=2) (4=1).	2018-10-26	Fixed.
2018-10-24	SUBSCASE (Case substitution flag) - Israel: Misleading usage of standard values and value labels	As substitution was not used in Israel, all cases should be recoded from code 1 ´Case from original sample´ into code 0 ´No substitution in this survey´.	2018-10-26	Fixed.
2018-10-24	WEIGHT (Weighting factor) - Germany: Not stored in the data file	The weighting factor for East-Germany and West-Germany is not stored in the data file but should be incorporated (Eastern Germany: 0,59940556 and Western Germany: 1,17759009).	2018-10-26	Fixed.
2018-10-25	Serious data problems in Dutch data	The Dutch data has been revised from scratch. This is especially true for the variables V16, V26, V36, V46, V48-V55, V66, V76, V86, V88, COHAB, RELIG, RELIGGRP, ATTD_EXT, NL_SIZE and ETHNIC.	2018-10-26	Fixed.
