In order to merge the height and weight file with the children's file for Bangladesh 2004, the merge.doc file which accompanies the height and weight file mentions:

"Use HWCASEID and HWLINE, from the Height and Weight file, with CASEID and MIDX, from the Children's recode file to merge it with the Children's data."

HWCASEID, I presume, is meant to refer to "hwhhid" which is in the height and weight file.

However, hwhhid in the height and weight file and caseid in the children's recode file do not match! What should one do?
