Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the cprdlinkutil package (described as below on my website) is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this, or adoupdate if you already have an old version of cprdlinkutil. The new version fixes a few confusing typos in the online help.
Best wishes

TITLE
cprdlinkutil: Inputting CPRD linkage-source datasets into Stata
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The cprdlinkutil package is designed for use with the cprdutil
package, which creates Stata datasets from text data files
produced by the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD).
cprdlinkutil is a suite of utility programs for inputting
linkage-source text data files produced by CPRD for linkage to
one or more non-CPRD sources of data on the same patients, and
creating equivalent Stata datasets in the memory. Possible
linkage-data sources include the Hospital Episodes System (HES)
for data on hospitalisations, and the Office of National
Statistics (ONS) for data on deaths. CPRD can carry out data
retrievals to provide linkage datasets, with data about
patients known to CPRD, and with one observation per event of
the type recorded by the linkage-data source. Datasets
produced by cprdlinkutil contain information on patients and
practices known to CPRD, and on the times at which patients in
these practices can be said to be at risk of experiencing
recorded events of the types recorded by each linkage-data
source. cprdlinkutil uses the SSC packages keyby and lablist,
which need to be installed for cprdlinkutil to work.
