Where are you getting the variables: "s12" and "s36" from (in your syntax)?

The syntax we posted seems perfectly fine, and all you have to do is modify the file names and the path for the file location. See modified syntax below:

get file = 'c:\testing\MLIR52FL.SAV'.
STRING HHID (A12).
COMPUTE HHID = SUBSTR(CASEID,1,12).
VARIABLE LABELS HHID 'Household ID' .
EXECUTE .
MATCH FILES /FILE=*
/TABLE='c:\testing\MLHR52FL.SAV'
/BY hhid.
EXECUTE.
SAVE OUTFILE='c:\testing\HR_IR.SAV'
/COMPRESSED.
