Another response from Tom Pullum:

I'm glad the latest attempt to do that merge worked!

You should only get subscripts for hvidx if you are using the HR file (they appear in Stata as _01, etc., and in SPSS as $01, etc.). The HR file has one record per household and the subscripts identify the line number of the person in the household. (That means that hvidx_01=1, hvidx_02=2, etc.) Most users hardly ever need the HR file. I don't understand how you can be getting subscripts for hvidx in the PR file. Are you getting subscripts for other variables too? This is mysterious.
