Thanks, both of you again!!

But I am really puzzled by the results.

IR file has 90,303 observations
PR file has 517,379 observations

However, in the merged file its showing 143,944 observations for _merge=3 which as you aforementioned are women in IR file.

Whats going on?

One more thing, can I use IR file as the base and merge only the matching observations form PR file?

Regards,
Mrinal
