Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Quote:

I can't imagine why you would want to merge these five files. The PR file is basically a reshaped version of the HR file. The KR file is a reduced version of the BR file. Virtually everything in the BR and KR files is in the IR file, reshaped. Can you give me an example of one specific outcome or indicator that you think would require such a merge?
