I have a question on using stset for survival analysis for complex survey in IR files using Stata
I have pooled 7 datasets- for Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Lesotho.
Following posts on the forum I have done the following:

for each country
generate weight = v005/10000000 * (population aged 15-49/sample population)
egen stratumid=group(country v023)(slightly different for Swaziland and Malawi in which strata is not v023)

after appending datasets I run the code
svyset [pweight=weight], strata(stratumid) vce(linearized) singleunit(centered)

However, when I run the model svy, subpop(....): stcox ....
I get error message the stset ID variable is not nested within the final stage sampling units

The Id variable is
stset time, failure(sexual_debut==1)id(caseid)

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Although you are using DHS data, this is really a question about Stata syntax. It goes beyond the scope of this forum and our own experience. We suggest that you ask this question on the Stata users forum.
