Dear Bridgette - thank you for your reply. You are right, it is the 2000 DHS.
The issue however is that the question 213 is about the birth of the first child; however, the label of the variable for sm213y is "year of birth of the last child". And the distribution of sm213y indeed looks like like the distribution of year of birth of the first child (see tabulation below).
Best regards,
Bruno Schoumaker
. use "C:\12.DATA\DHS\MR\RWMR41FL.DTA", clear
