st: merging 2 data sets and matching the observations

[sam seeto <cdogggy@yahoo.com>]

Dear Stata users,

I have 2 data sets (from a panel data base), and I would like to merge it and match the observations with the same id number to form a larger cross-sectional data set. 

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks.

Sam
