Dear Kerry MacQuarrie,
For merging two recent datasets of BDHS, i.e. BDPR18 and BDIR18, I have applied the same command that you indicated. But, the result doesn't match. the error status showed "variables v001 v002 do not uniquely identify observations in the master data". What am I missing?

I have used the following commands:


clear all
set maxvar 30000
set more off

use "D:\data\BDPR18.DTA"
gen v001=hv001 //recode PR survey cluster number variable to match women's data set
gen v002 = hv002 //recode PR survey household number variable to match women's data set
keep v001 v002 hv005 hv022 hv021 sb333aa sb333ab sb318a sb335b sb327a
sort v001 v002
save "D:\data\BDPR18_MERGED.dta", replace

use "D:\data\BDIR18.DTA"
sort v001 v002
merge 1:m v001 v002 using "D:\data\BDPR18_MERGED.dta"
