Hi I am using the 2015 MIS survey for my dissertation however I having trouble merging the household dataset which is KEPR7ADT with the womens/individual dataset which is KEIR7A on STATA. Please can anyone let me know what to do , i have tried using the guidance provided on the dhs website but it did not work.
this is the code i used:
use "/Users/t/Desktop/Actual dataset/PR2.DTA"
rename hv001 v001
rename hv002 v002
sort v001 v002
save "/Users/Desktop/Actual dataset/PR2.DTA", replace
use "/Users/t/Desktop/Actual dataset/IR.DTA"
sort v001 v002
merge m:1 v001 v002 using PR2
I received the error message that the variables v001 v002 do not uniquely identify observations in the using data
I dont know what i did wrong as this is what the dhs guide says to do . Pls help
thank you so much,
toyosi

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
You need to include line number. In the PR file that's hvidx and in the IR file it's v003. Just change to the following:
use "/Users/t/Desktop/Actual dataset/PR2.DTA"
rename hv001 v001
rename hv002 v002
rename hvidx v003
sort v001 v002 v003
save "/Users/Desktop/Actual dataset/PR2.DTA", replace
use "/Users/t/Desktop/Actual dataset/IR.DTA"
sort v001 v002 v003
merge m:1 v001 v002 v003 using PR2
