Dear All,
I am trying to merge two files in Stata 8 based on a unique identifier (ID). However some of the values or ID's are in upper cases in one file, and lower cases in the other. Stata seems to treat each of these as unique.
I wish therefore to convert all the ID's to one uniform format ( either Upper or Lower case) in Stata before doing the merge.
How can l do this conversion in Stata?
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
Alexander Quarshie
