Having problem in merging household members data using birth data [message #3213]

Hello.

I am trying to merge the birth order and twin variables from the birth dataset to the householdmember dataset for my research analysis (for India dataset).
I know that the identifier variables are v001 and v002, but I can see that merging by using v001 and v002 will mess up since different individuals have same v001 and v002 within house and that makes the identifiers not unique..
I am trying to figure out how to make a unique identifier so that I can merge these two data.

I would really really appreciate if someone could help me out on this..

Thank you so much!

Jung.
