I would appreciate some help regarding reshaping of the variables b16_01 to b16_20 (from individual datasets)so that I have one variable that I can compare with hv112 (from PR file),for mothers reported to be on the household schedule and whose children are younger than 18 years. I have followed a few examples but not getting it right.

Rather than reshaping the data, have you tried using the BR or the KR files which are already reshaped.
