When merging, did you add cases (via ADD FILES), or add variables/columns
(via MATCH FILES)?
Re your desire to use only individuals who have data for all 3 time periods,
have you considered using multilevel modeling (via MIXED)? It would not be
bothered by the fact that people have varying numbers of time points to
contribute. (It requires a LONG file structure, such that each individual
has one row for each occasion of measurement.) The UCLA Computing website
has syntax for many of the examples in Singer & Willett's book "Applied
Longitudinal Data Analysis".
