I am using KID file from NFHS-4 (India) data. B4 and b5 are sex and survival of child variables respectively. I am not able to construct sex and survival of preceding child using mother's caseid and midx variables. I want to construct a sex of preceding variable in such a way that how many boys had the previous girl siblings and vice versa. Similarly how many dead children had previous alive siblings and vice vesra.

Dear User,

It seems you are using the "Children's recode", which is based upon the maternity section (MIDX) of the standard recode. This is children born in the 5 years preceding the survey (in general). Please try using the birth recode instead where you would use the caseid variable and the birth column number (BIDX) to try and retrieve a previous birth.

Success.
