LWS Pilot Datasets
	Note. Some LWS pilot datasets are included in the new LWS Database; some others may follow. The harmonisation of the LWS pilot datasets was carried out directly from the original data (and not from the old LWS variables) following improved conceptual framework and international standards for wealth. As a result, there is no direct mapping of the old into the new LWS variables and they are not directly comparable.
Questions?	When you send a query to User Support, please include your name, title, affiliation, and a brief comment about your research project. Please address all queries about the use and content of the data to usersupport@lisdatacenter.org, rather than to individual LIS staff members. This allows the LIS staff to maintain a coordinated record of all queries.
Data Access	To access the LWS Pilot datasets, you only need to update one single line of code (whether you use JSI or Email) JSI: Select the project *PIL* in the Job Session Window Email: The fourth line of the header must be: *PROJECT = PIL Except for that line, your program remains unchanged.
