Merging 2003 Ghana DHS HW and KR files [message #30401]

Hi,

I am trying to merge the 2003 Ghana DHS HW and KR files to retrieve the new WHO anthropometric measures for analysis. How do I do this?

Does the HWHHID in the HW file correspond with the CASEID in the KR file?
What about the HHLINE variable in the HW file?

I have made initial attempts assuming that the HHLINE variable is the line number of the individual in the household. I decided to use B16 (child line number in the household) in the KR file to match for merging but it is not working. Is there something I need to take into consideration?

Kindly advise. I am using R for analysis.
