Hi All,
I am using Ethiopian DHS2011 for my analysis. I need to merge birth recode file (using file) with HH member recode(master file). I tried to see the DHS merging guide and related topics in the FAQ. I was aware of the fact that HIDX is the household line number and used the following STATA command to merge,
gen gen v001= hv001
gen v002 = hv002
gen v003= hvidx
sort v001 v002 v003
merge m:1 v001 v002 v003 using "the birth recode file"
neverthless, I could'nt succed in merging and STAT propmted me the messgae " v001 v002 v003 doesnot uniquely identify the observation in using file". would you please quickly tip me on how to merge the two recodes?
Thanks in advance,
Kal
