I tried to merge the file of PR and IR, by following,
use "C:\Users\Rashid Javed\Desktop\DHS Data Set\Pakistan\Stata_PK_2012-13_DHS_01052016_926_87403\6_House hold Member Recode_pkpr61
> dt\PKPR61FL.DTA", clear

rename hv001 v001

. rename hv002 v002

. gen in_PR=1

. sort v001 v002

save "C:\Users\Rashid Javed\Desktop\temp.dta

use "C:\Users\Rashid Javed\Desktop\DHS Data Set\Pakistan\Stata_PK_2012-13_DHS_01052016_926_87403\3_Indiv idual Recode_pkir61dt\PKI
> R61FL.DTA", clear

gen in_IR=1

. sort v001 v002

. merge v001 v002 using C:\Users\Rashid Javed\Desktop\temp.dta

After this finally received this error,

(note: you are using old merge syntax; see [D] merge for new syntax)
variables v001 v002 do not uniquely identify observations in the master data
file C:\Users\Rashid.dta not found
r(601);
