Re: Challenge with combining data files

[Alan Mead]

Hamza,

Tell us more about the data. One key distinction is whether you are
merging files of the same people with different variables ("adding
columns") or if you are merging files of different people on the same
variables ("adding cases").  And there are less common possibilities.
like dictionary merges.

You don't need to be a programmer to use the syntax is not hard and I
think Zoltan's link is helpful; but I'd be happy to be more specific if
you can be more specific in what you're trying to do.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...
functions on fire in a copy of Orion.
I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like Ruby... on... Rails... Time for Pi.
