When matching a KR file and a PR file, should I match the KR of each survey with the corresponding PR file, or should I merge all the KRS first and then match them with the merged PR file?

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I strongly recommend that you merge survey-by-survey, and THEN append the merged files. It will be much faster and it will be easier to fix problems (e.g. failures to merge).
