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

Table 3.3.1 in the report on this survey has the following footnote:

Refers to women who can read a whole sentence or part of a sentence and women who completed standard 6 or higher (who are assumed to be literate). Literacy status could not be determined for 0.4 percent of women.

You have to look at v106 as well as v155. "Completed standard 6 or higher" is indicated if v106 is 2 or 3. The following will work:

gen lit=0
replace lit=1 if v106==2 | v106==3 | v155==1 | v155==2
tab lit [iweight=v005/1000000]
