Variables missed after appending two de-normalized DHS datasets [message #9632]

Hello,

I need to de-normalize and then append two DHS datasets (e.g. BOIR31 and BOIR41). I first generate a new variable dv005=v005*(number of women aged 15-49 of the country in the survey year)/(number of women in this survey) in the two datasets, respectively. Then I append BOIR41 into BOIR31 (so BOIR31 is the basis). But after appending, all values of dv005 in BOIR41 become ".", while values of dv005 in BOIR31 are correct.

I tried several other datasets, but I always faced this problem.

Thank you very much!
