I don't clearly follow you but I think -merge- would help you. Can you
please more vividly describe the issue. Like in the 1st dataset you
have 2 variables codes and geographic division and in the 2nd you
again have 2 variables the SAME codes and this time the names of the
variables ?
Then you can use -merge-. Please clarify if I understand correctly.
Thank you,
Ashim.
