Our SPSS Specialist, Ladys Ortiz, took a closer look at your syntax, and had the following comments:

You are missing a period after the "save" command, and the 1st "execute" command. Also, you are referencing "dataset6" where you are expected to be referencing "dataset1". Following is the syntax that you can use or compare to yours:

GET
FILE='C:\Tanzania2011\TZAR6AFL.SAV'.
SORT CASES BY hivCLUST(A) hivNUMB(A) hivLINE(A).
SAVE OUTFILE='C:\Tanzania2011\TZAR6AFL.SAV'.

GET
FILE='C:\Tanzania2011\TZIR6AFL.SAV'.
SORT CASES BY V001(A) V002(A) V003(A).

RENAME VARIABLES (V001 V002 V003 =
hivCLUST hivNUMB hivLINE).
EXECUTE.

MATCH FILES /FILE=*
/FILE='C:\Tanzania2011\TZAR6AFL.SAV'
/BY hivCLUST hivNUMB hivLINE.
EXECUTE.
