Hi Nick,
Not sure I get your point. My guess is that there are variables(columns) in
B that are not present in A. Is that right?
If this is the case, you need:
merge 1:1 id using "B", keepusing (the list of variables that are present in
B but not in A)
Hope this helps,
Achilleas

Subject: st: merging datasets
Dear all,
I would appreciate any help on the following:
I have 2 datasets A (~150 observations) and B (~45 observations)
B is included in A and share some common fields including observation id
(num)
It should have been one dataset but unfortunately it is not and I would like
to merge them.
Dataset B has all the fields of A but some extra ones.
Q: is there a way to append the extra fields (for the eligible
observations) from dataset B to dataset A using observation id as the link?
many thanks
Nick
