Dear DHS,

When I try to merge the BR and WI files in the Egypt_2000 survey, I get 0 matches. I was wondering if the WI file is actually not from this survey (since the number of the Phase in the file name is different)?

Here is the STATA code I use:

use EGBR42FL.DTA
gen whhid = substr(caseid, 1, 12)
merge m:1 whhid using EGWI41FL.DTA, keepusing(wlthind5) keep(match master)

I used the same code for other surveys and it worked fine.

Thank you in advance!

Yana
