Malayaka,
You need to replace "var" in tab var [iweight=wgt] with the actual variable name. Remember that Stata is case sensitive, i.e. V005 and v005 are two different variables (according to Stata).

One other thing: I wasn't sure why the DHS website told you to use iweight instead of pweight. My understanding is that v005 is the sampling weight, therefore pweight should be used instead of iweight. Note that iweight is equivalent to "weight" in SPSS, which the Stata documentation has labelled as "vague." I hope someone from DHS can clarify this.

HTH,
RHS
