An alternative is reading in the child file first, if the child file has multiple entries for the same parent file:
read "d:\bernard\epidemio\fille.rec" merge fiche /file=pere.rec" /table
This uses the "pere" file as a look-up table (see Help file in analysis) and "fiche" needs to be unique only in the parent but not the child file,

The correct way to read these files into analysis is:
read "d:\bernard\epidemio\fille.rec" merge fiche /file=ere.rec"
merge requires key unique in the file it reads.
