Thank you very much for your reply.

I am using SPSS and I used this syntax;

GET FILE='MLMR53FL.SAV'.
SORT CASES by MV001 MV002 MV034$1.
save outfile = 'MLmen.sav'.

GET FILE='MLIR53FL.SAV'.
SORT CASES by V001 V002 V003.
save outfile = 'MLwomen.sav' / keep v001 v002 v003 G102.

MATCH FILES /file=' MLmen.sav' /table='MLwomen.sav'
/rename v001 = mv001 v002 = mv002 v003 = mv034$1 G102=JG102$1
/BY MV001 MV002 MV034$1.
save outfile = "MLmen+wives.sav".

Maybe there is something wrong with my syntax?

Would you expect the couples recode to only include the 1st wife?

Many thanks for your help.

Janet
