Hi Tom,

I'm still working on this merge. This should be relatively intuitive, but I must not understand something about the file construction.

I've used the attach code which reflects your previous suggestions. However, when I keep the match==3 (meaning in both the BR and PR files) no one dies. B7 is '.'. for all _merge==3.

What am I missing? I'm trying to assign household level characteristics to the kids in the BR file. For the purpose of the Filmer Pritchett index I need the H02 RECH2 variables that are in the PR recode to be matched to the kids.

Thanks. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Carrie
