Try changing directory to

"D:\GEAR UP\Baylor\data\converted to stata\clean"

using

cd "D:\GEAR UP\Baylor\data\converted to stata\clean"

and then use -reclink- (SSC, Blasnik):

reclink last_name first_name ///
 using "waco_taks_3rdadmin_only.dta", ///
 idmaster(id1) idusing(id2) gen(score)

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
