  • Problem with merging

    I have 2 datasets and I need to merge them. I -made sure that both data sets have the variable state3 and that the sets were sorted by state3. I typed: merge * using d:\data\immigrationprefold.dta
    but received the following response:
    (note: you are using old merge syntax; see [D] merge for new syntax)
    master data not sorted
    r(5);

    I know that I should not attach the data sets but will be ready to do so if anyone offers to help. Thanks for any assistance.

    I'm not sure what your question is as the error message seems clear to me; see
    Code:
    help merge

      I tried that and I can''t see the problem since both data sets have state3 and are sorted by this variable.
