Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The second version of your merge program look ok. This should be a 1:1 merge. You do not want to select on _merge=3, because children who died are not in the HW file. They will have _merge=1 or 2, depending on which file is the "using" file. (Cases in only that file get _merge=2.)

In the KR or BR file the children who died have b16=., and children who are living but not in the household have b16=0. They will also not be in the HW file. You need to figure out what to do with them....
