Hi, I have just tried a m:1 merge. My identifying variable is id_kiga. However, it does not work out and I get the following error message:
note: variable id_kiga was str4, now str5 to accommodate using data's values, variable id_kiga does not uniquely identify observations in the using data
r(459);
There is one value in id_kiga in the using dataset that does not appear in id_kiga in the master dataset, but this should not be an issue I think. The style of id_kiga is str4 in both datasets. To be on the safe side I have compressed id_kiga in both datasets before merging. To be honest I have no idea why the merging process does not work out. Thanks a lot for any hints in advance.
Best, Michael
