Hey there.

Just looking at the recode manual - is that a typo with hc70? Is it possible you want hc8? (hc7 is actually percentile, not z-score, so maybe it was a double-typo?)

I have always used the child recode for these. Also, in the HH member recode, you'd need to limit the age of your sample, I think, since some mothers (and maybe some fathers) would have anthro measurements too.

I'm guessing that, since your results worked with the child recode, you're happy using that? Or did you want to for sure get the HH recode working?

You should also probably weight these to get the DHS guide results, so you'd need the svyset command, and they svy: prefix before tabluate.

You good now?
