		Hello, 
 
I am working on the Pakistan dataset (2017-2018). I am working on women's dataset (IR). I am examining children's birth weight (low) and antenatal care visits (outcomes) in one paper. I want to create a new variable for children's birth weight (m19_1 to m19_6). I want to have one birth weight variable (continuous) for all children mentioned in these six variables (m19_1 to m19_6).  
Is it possible to create one variable, or do I need to work separately on the KR file for this purpose? The issue comes when the number of observations for IR and KR differs after I drop women with no birth (v208). I am not sure that I can have two different numbers of observations in one paper... 
Can someone help me with coding if it is possible to create 1 variable out of these 6 variables because I am only getting error messages on my tries?  
I appreciate the help. 
 
Aamna
