Hi,
I have an issue with the merge options. I want to force the merge to
take the match variable from the master file since it is not an
unique identifier in the using file. In other words, I want to all
all observations that have the same hqduns as those in the master
file. But the option uniqmaster gives me the comment below as if I
never even attached the option. And the output shows that it did not
merge anything from the using file. Any suggestions?
I have up-to-date stata 10.
. merge hqduns using sm_NETS, uniqmaster
variable hqduns does not uniquely identify observations in sm_NETS.dta
Thanks. Iva
