Hello there,
As a new user to Stata as well I've used the following to merge data
merge X1 using "C:\Filename",
tab _merge
assert _merge~=3
then sort the data by X1
I hope this helps.

Subject: st: Merge data
Hi,there,
I have one question about merging data..I am wondering if someone out there
could help me with it.
Let's say data sets, A and B.. A includes {X1,X2,X3,X4} and B
includes{X1,X2,X5}..Using X1 and X2, we could uniquely identify the
individuals in the data...Moreover,the sample size of B is bigger that of
A..I only want X5 of individuals in B who are also in A...How could I do
this?
Thanks a lot..
Lok
