Thank you for response and new ideas.
I checked and found the same results in regression analysis. But while run frequencies without dividing v005 by 1000000, I found different results, for example,

. tab m14ANCcat[iweight=v005]

RECODE of
m14_1
(number of
antenatal
visits
during
pregnancy) Freq. Percent Cum.

No ANC 71978871 3.64 3.64
1-3ANC 504713483 25.52 29.15
4ANC 1401330967 70.85 100.00

Total 1978023321 100.00

This is different when v005 is divided by 1000000

. tab m14ANCcat[iw=v005/1000000]

RECODE of
m14_1
(number of
antenatal
visits
during
pregnancy) Freq. Percent Cum.

No ANC 71.978871 3.64 3.64
1-3ANC 504.713483 25.52 29.15
4ANC 1,401.331 70.85 100.00

Total 1,978.0233 100.00

So, to calculate the frequencies, we need to v005 by 1000000. Am I right?

Looking forward to your response.

With kind regards,
Resham
