Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: dmerge is a modification of Stata's official merge. In contrast to Stata's merge, dmerge automatically drops _merge() if it exists, automatically sorts the master set by the merging variables, automatically sorts the using data set if it is not sorted by the merging variables, and suppresses Stata's listing of variable labels used in both data sets.
