Dear fellow users,

I use NFHS-3 (DHS India 2005-6), the children's file + women's domestic violence variables, and set up the survey variables in Stata accordingly, following
http://dhsprogram.com/faq.cfm and
http://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=msg&th=1217& amp;start=0&S=221608a0f19ba7cd3b19146ec73a3903 :

gen weight=v005/1000000
egen strata = group(v024 v025), label
tab strata

svyset [pweight=weight], psu(v021) strata(strata)

Now, I would like to calculate statistics using the svy: commands, including svy: mean.

I ran for example, just to see if it works:

svy: mean hw70 (hw70 is Height for age standard deviation)
svy: mean hw1 (age in months)

Every time I do this, I get the following error message:

(running mean on estimation sample)
no observations
r(2000);

I researched online in stata forums as well as in this forum and could not find any useful hints.

Thank you very much for giving me advice.
