Dear DHS Specialist,

Kindly assist me. I used the same code written below and it merged the BR and IR of some countries while it did not work for most others.

use BFBR62FL.DTA, clear
sort caseid v001 v002 v003 bidx
save BFBR62-temp.dta, replace
use BFIR62FL.DTA, clear
sort caseid v001 v002 v003
merge caseid v001 v002 v003 using BFBR62-temp.dta
ta _merge
save BFIRBR.dta, replace
erase BFBR62-temp.dta
ta v044, nola
keep if v044==1
save BFIRBR_mod.dta, replace

Countries that merged: Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi

All other countries were not successful such as Burundi, Nigeria, Comoros and so on. Nigeria gave me a 3.2 mb file for both IR and BR file after merging and same applies to all others.

Pls guide
