Matching 2 files...Simple Question?

[Clarry]

Hi, 

I am very new to PSPP and have no knowledge of Syntax, although i can see
the logic of something once shown. 

I have looked at the manual, at this: 

MATCH FILES 
/{FILE,TABLE}={*,’file-name’} 
/RENAME=(src names=target names). . . 
/IN=var name 
/BY=var list 
/DROP=var list 
/KEEP=var list 
/FIRST=var name 
/LAST=var name 
/MAP 


but have no idea what to do with IN, BY, DROP, etc. Or the conventions used. 

If someone uses the parameters required to match one variable (let's call it
"CODE") from File 1 to the same variable in File 2 then rename the new file
File 3, I would be able to adapt. 

Thanks
