Michael, Thank you for this , it worked. I was thinking "by" is a required argument in merge function.
Well, it is "required" in a strict sense, but it has a default value (defaulting to the shared names) so _you_ don't have to specify it. Best, Michael

Hi OTOH I wonder why cbind gives error as OP told us x <- data.frame(x = 1:5) y <- data.frame(y = 6:15) merge(x,y) cbind(x,y) Gives different results but without any error. Regards Petr
