Dear statalist users,
I am using Stata 9.1 and want to merge two datasets by company names.
As these names are not perfectly similar in both datasets, I use the reclink.ado file.
However, after a certain period reclink stopps and asks for an additional closed bracket.
I do not know why this happens.
I have the following syntax:
.reclink cname using "d:\Compustat_reclink.dta" , idmaster(id1) idusing(id2) gen(score)
When I run this command, the program works fine. However, after approximately 15% of the process it stopps.
As you can see below, it finishes about 15% of the task.
Here is the message that appears:
.Going through 54114 observation to assess fuzzy matches, each .=5% complete
...) required
r(100);
It is probably a very simple mistake but I tried it several times now and the result is always similar.
Any comment would be highly appreciated.
