fuzzy matching issues for merging two datasets with reclink

[Veeresh Thummadi]

Hi

I am trying to match two datasets using reclink package.

I used the following code:

reclink location using cpt, gen(myscore) idm(id1) idu(id2)

12 perfect matches found

Going through 102606 observation to assess fuzzy matches, each .=5% complete
option ) not allowed
r(198);

Can someone suggest how to address this issue?

Best,
Veeresh

The same syntax works for 20,000 observations and throws up an error with more observations.

have you tried -matchit- ? I replicate some of the -reclink- functionality there. Depending on your particular case it may be a good alternative.

I'm trying to match two datasets using the reclink command and getting the same error "Going through 102606 observation to assess fuzzy matches, each .=5% complete
option ) not allowed
r(198);" even though i've checked the code multiple times. Any ideas on how to fix this?

My very biased suggestion would be: see #3 above
