question about merge / lookup (was Re: statlist: offlist follow up)

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

..
Your first (?) issue is not a problem -- it is an informational message if you 
are doing a "look-up" type merge (or "many to one" merge).

If your second question asks about how to create the lookup table of proyection 
values -- that depends on if you already have them stored somehow and if you can 
get them into aa Stata dataset.  You can always use -generate- and -replace- to 
type them in.

By the way, it is not good form to include an offlist follow-up, provided as 
courtesy, as part of a message back to the full Statalist.  I will not extend 
the courtesy again.
