> Dear statalist,

> I know that first I have to
> sort based on the variables I have chosen to paste (in both dataset)
> then merge[varlist] using filename
> but when I trying to merge there is a message that indicates
> file "fm2m"
> not found.
> The problem is that the file it exists, and I have it in the
> same folder
> that I have the other dataset named "mother". I have already
> checked as
> well, if there is any space in the name of the file, etc.
> What do you suggest I am doing wrong?
