Thanks for the code. I am doing the same analysis on Nigeria DHS and I need to merge the HW data with the KR file for DHS IV. While the code you shared worked well with no error code, it failed to produce any match. I think this because the caseid in the KR file has three characters in the string, whereas that of HW is only two. Could that be the reason and what do you advise I do?

Here is the code and the screenshot of the output:

use "${hw2003}", clear
ren hwhhid caseid
ren hwline midx
sort caseid midx
save "${kr2003}_temp.dta", replace

* Sort the children's recode data and then merge
use "${kr2003}", clear
sort caseid midx
merge 1:1 caseid midx using "${kr2003}_temp.dta"
