Hi DHS Team,
I am facing problems in merging 3 datasets(MR,IR,PR). Neccessary information is spread across the 3 datasets. Such as -

# Referencing Azerbaizan 2006 DHS Data.
MR:
Blood Pressure Measurement
socio-demographic status
But no BMI/height/weight

IR:
Blood Pressure Measurement
socio-demographic status
BMI

PR:
height,weight,BMI for male and female.

Blood pressure measurement(hypertension) is the outcome variable in my analysis.

How can I combine all 3 datasets while retaining my required information.
I have applied the following method. But the ultimate file has no Blood Pressure Measurement.

If someone here who can guide me how to do this in SPSS, I will be grateful to you.
You can show it in STATA also.But I prefer SPSS.
