Looping in SPSS
I have a very large data set, it contains 5 files of more than 1,000,000 cases each. I have a common field name in each file. I need to go through one file and file all the cases in the other file which match the common field value.
Can you explain this with a little more detail? I'm not sure what you mean by "file all the cases." Are you trying to create a combined dataset? If so, you should use the Merge Files command in the Data menu.

These are medical records. I have a file for home health, nursing facility, inpatient hospital, ect. I have a unique patient id. I need to find all the patients who have home health and all of thier other claims in other settings. Thank you
