Hi all, I am new in stata and trying to run a fuzzy match across two datasets, but i am getting the type mismatch error before the process is completed.
Below is my code and the error message.
. reclink region district health_facility using "filename.dta", idmaster(idcensus) idusing(idrdhf) required(region)
> _merge(mergedhdb) uprefix(hdb) gen(hdbscore) minscore(0.9)
60 perfect matches found
Going through 374940 observation to assess fuzzy matches, each .=5% complete
......type mismatch
r(109);
Anyone with an idea on how to work around this please assist.
Thanks
