Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

In Stata, a dot (".") means Not Applicable. That is, a respondent will have a dot for v743a if, and only if, the question about who decides on her health care was not asked of her. You have to go to the questionnaire, find the question, and look at the preceding filters and skips to see who was asked this question and who was not. You would have to do the same thing for the DV questions. It can be tedious, but you will probably find that there is a good reason why you don't have more overlap of v743a and the subsample that was asked the DV questions.
