Hi Kaung Suu,

Most of the variable in the IR file are on the PR file. So these code could probably help you.
It is from the DHS guide stats. You should read it, it's very helpful.

use "/Users/ Kaung_Suu/Desktop/IR_PR_KR_MERGE/YOUR_PR_FILE.DTA", clear

sort hhid hvidx

* save temporary data file tempfile secondary
save "file_for_merge", replace

* open primary file - KR file
use "/Users/Kaung_Suu/Desktop/IR_PR_KR_MERGE/YOUR_KR_FILE.DTA", clear

* generate household and person ID for matching on

gen hhid = substr(caseid,1,12)
gen hvidx = b16

* sort file by IDs
sort hhid hvidx

* merge mother's characteristics into PR file
merge m:1 hhid hvidx using "file_for_merge", keep(master match)

* check the merge
tab _merge,m
save _merge_enfin, replace
