Hi All,
I'm using Stata 12.1 on W7.
I'm trying to perform a consecutive merge.

I've tried:

use E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Dati.dta
drop dieta

merge 1:1 codice using "E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Quest_Generale.dta"
drop _merge

merge 1:1 codice using "E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Quest_Generale.dta"
drop _merge

save E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Generale.dta, replace
clear

Also:
use E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Dati.dta
drop dieta



merge 1:1 codice using "E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Quest_Generale.dta"
drop _merge

save E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Generale.dta, replace
clear
use E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Generale.dta


merge 1:1 codice using E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_BMI_Dieta.dta save E:\Alberto\Papers\WorkingPapers\Nutriepa\Nutriepa_Database\Nutriepa_Resto\Nutriepa_Generale.dta, replace
clear

But the code doesn't work. When Stata executes the second merge, it always gives me the same error:
_merge already defined.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
