2014 Kenya DHS merging household and men's datafile [message #10138]

Hello,

I would like to merge the household and men's data files to use in my analysis.

However, I have tried to merge using the household number but I get the error message
"variable hv002 does not uniquely identify observations in the master data"

I am using this command
"merge 1:m hv002 using KEKR70FL"

NB: I renamed the household number in the men's datafile from mv002 to hv002

Kindly how do I go about merging the two data files as I cannot identify any other variable which I can use as an identifier.

Thank you.

Laura
