Hi Statalisters:
I have read the manual several times and am still
unclear about how a match merge takes place.
In my orig dataset I have:
Resp. # and Zip Code
I want to match zip codes in the "using" dataset that
contains a zip code variable and a variable specifying
how many organizations exist in that zip code.
What I'd like to do is to search each Respondent's zip
and where a match is found, I'd like to attach the
number of organizations variable to that respondent.
I want to make sure that, for respondents who have
duplicate zips, they will both get the variable with #
of organizations attached.
Is this doable? What would be the exact command?
Thank you for your help!
Dari Sylvester
