Following is an example syntax for merging the wealth index with the women. You can use this, and just change the women's variable names to the men's variable names.

GET
FILE='C:\et\ETWI41FL.SAV'.

SORT CASES BY
whhid (A) .

SAVE OUTFILE='C:\et\wisort.sav'
/RENAME(WHHID=
HHID)
/COMPRESSED.

GET
FILE='C:\et\ETIR41FL.SAV'.

STRING hhid (A12).
COMPUTE hhid = SUBSTR(caseid,1,12) .
VARIABLE LABELS hhid 'hhid' .
EXECUTE .

SORT CASES BY
hhid (A) .

SAVE OUTFILE='C:\et\WOMENSORT.SAV'
/COMPRESSED.

MATCH FILES /FILE=*
/TABLE='C:\et\wisort.sav'
/BY hhid.
EXECUTE.

SAVE OUTFILE='C:\et\WI_IR.SAV'
/COMPRESSED.
COMPUTE wt = v005 / 1000000 .
EXECUTE .
WEIGHT
BY wt .
