Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new version of the factmerg package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this, or adoupdate if you already have an old version of factmerg.
The factmerg package is described as below on my website. The new version removes a harmless but confusing message.
Best wishes

TITLE
factmerg: Merge a list of factors to create string variables
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
factmerg takes, as input, a list of variables (numeric or string),
representing discrete factors. It creates, as output, one to three
string variables, containing, in each observation, a value, a factor
name or a factor variable label, respectively, copied from the first
factor variable in the input variable list with a non-missing value
for that observation. factmerg requires the SSC package sdecode in
order to work.
