Dear DHS expert,
Below is my syntax for merging HIV dataset AR to individual dataset IR using Tanzania 2011-12 dataset on SPSS. Please let know why I do not get the desired results. The combined dataset does not have HIV data for IR, rather the AR (HIV test results) data is scattered within the combined IR/AR dataset and seem to be no connection.


DATASET ACTIVATE DataSet4.
SORT CASES BY HIVCLUST(A) HIVNUMB(A) HIV01(A).

DATASET ACTIVATE DataSet1.
SORT CASES BY V001(A) V002(A) V003(A).
SAVE

RENAME VARIABLES (V001 V002 V003 =
HIVCLUST HIVNUMB HIVLINE).
EXECUTE

DATASET ACTIVATE DataSet6.
MATCH FILES /FILE=*
/FILE='DataSet4'
/BY HIVCLUST HIVNUMB HIVLINE.
EXECUTE.
Thank you
