st: matching 2 panel datasets

[sarah smith <sarah22209@gmail.com>]

Dear statalist members;

I am trying to match two panel datasets based on 3 variables. I used
merge comment

merge name last name year using filename.

However it does not seem to work. I would appreciate if you can help
me with this.

Thanks a lot,
Sarah
