The FRQs are a one-way table of unweighted frequencies (the FRWs are weighted frequencies). The unweighted frequencies can be produced using this simple Stata command: tab1 v107 v113, miss.

Please note that everything in the DHS reports have been weighted by v005. To get the weighted frequency distributions, please use:
tab1 v107 v113 [aweight=v005/1000000], miss

Thanks
