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

The IR file for this survey (IAIR32FL.dta) and the KR file include a variable s148 that is the caste of the household head. This is given as a number. The numbers range from 1 to 7370, with special codes 0, 9996, 9997, 9998, and 9999. About 8% of the women have special codes and another 12% are completely missing on s148. The labels for these codes are apparently given by the pdf file (CasteCodes.pdf) that you already have. I believe that what you want to do is to attach those labels to s148. This would require converting the pdf file to a text file that could be read by Stata. It is possible that someone has already prepared such a text file, but we at DHS only have the pdf file. If you have the text file, I can describe how to use it to attach labels to s148.
