Below is an example syntax for merging the HIV Test data with the Women's data in SPSS. You can modify this for other datasets.

GET FILE='C:\DATAUSER\ZMAR51FL.SAV'.
SORT CASES BY
HIVCLUST (A) HIVNUMB (A) HIVLINE (A).
SAVE OUTFILE='C:\DATAUSER\HIV.sav'
/COMPRESSED.

GET FILE='C:\DATAUSER\ZMIR51FL.SAV'.
SORT CASES BY
V001 (A) V002 (A) V003 (A) .
SAVE OUTFILE='C:\DATAUSER\WOMEN.sav'
/RENAME(V001 V002 V003=
HIVCLUST HIVNUMB HIVLINE)
/COMPRESSED.

GET FILE='C:\DATAUSER\WOMEN.sav'.
MATCH FILES /FILE=*
/TABLE='C:\DATAUSER\HIV.sav'
/BY HIVCLUST HIVNUMB HIVLINE.
