Hi to All,

I am using NFHS India 3 dataset. I would like to merge men, women, and children level data (IR, MR, KR) as a household unit. The individual dataset have caseID as opposed to HHID. When i merge these data, i want to group them as households. Its like adding women, men and children questionnaire in household dataset. I used below sample merge syntax for SPSS, to merge IR and HR dataset. but i am not getting the desired objective. Is there any better way to achieve this objective? I want to integrate variables from IR, MR, KR in household level. Is it possible?
