Hi there,

I am also trying to merge the VA file with the women's file in the AMS 2010 datasets. As I want to look at all the births including stillbirths i could not use qh305 or qh306 i the women's file. I have tried merging using cluster, hh and woman's line number as well either date of death (qv305f from VA and 322c & 324c in women's) or date of birth (qv303f and q317c& 324c from women's). I keep getting 116 cases that do not merge and it seems some of the dates from the women's file and the VA file do not match. Do you have any suggestion how to manage this and why the dates would not match?

thanks
