Thanks for your help above.

Please could you update this in the merge instructions? To reflect that it is not the 'midx' variable in the child recode that is equivalent to 'HWLINE' in the new file, it is instead 'b16'.

Just to confirm, in this case I will need to drop the last digit of the 'caseID' in the child recode, and instead replace it with 'b16' so that the codes will match in both files and can then be merged together?
