Yan,
This might work:

use B
sort stock
use A
sort stock
joinby stock using B, unmatched(master)

Best,
Suryadipta.

Hi, could anybody tell me how to solve the match
problem about merging two data sets both of which have
non-unique identifiers.

For example, if DataSet A has:
stock date
11 aa
11 bb
11 cc
33 AA

and dataset B has stock id
11 wen
11 fra


After using "merge stock using "......" ", I got the
following:
stock id date _merge
11 wen aa 3
11 fra bb 3
11 fra cc 3
33 AA 1

How could I get the results as follows as desired?
What I want is as follows:

stock id date _merge
11 wen aa 3
11 wen bb 3
11 wen cc 3
11 fra aa 3
11 fra bb 3
11 fra cc 3
33 AA 1

Thanks a lot!
