Hello, This is my master data. My master is repeated cross section.

Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. For more info, type help dataex
clear
input float year double county
2001 10093
2001 10093
2001 10003
2001 10003
2002 10093
2002 10093
2002 10003

2002 10003

2003 10001
2003 10001
2003 10003
2003 10003
end

This is my using data. My plan is to have a panel using data but the error message something else which I'll post after posting the sample using data below.

Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. For more info, type help dataex

end
So when I'm merging master with the using data by the following command

Code:
 merge m:1 year county using "trade.dta", keep(master match) nogen
I get this error message

Code:
 merge m:1 year county using "trade.dta", keep(master match) nogen
(variable year was int, now float to accommodate using data's
       values)
(variable county1 was float, now double to accommodate using
       data's values)
variables year county do not uniquely identify observations in
    the using data
r(459);

end of do-file

r(459);
The issue is when I'm using the dataex command I don't see any repeated observation based on -dataex year county- command. But, after using the xtset and isid command I get the following information for my using data:

Code:
 isid year county
variables year and county should never be missing
r(459);

xtset year county

Panel variable: year (unbalanced)
 Time variable: county, 1003 to 55133, but with gaps
         Delta: 1 unit
May you kindly what problem in using data is causing the merging problem issue with the master data? Because the error clearly says while merging variables year county do not uniquely identify observations in
the using data
