Dear Trevor,

Thank you again for the quick reply. I certainly got you right concerning AGE AT FIRST BIRTH. Although you said age at first birth = int((v011 - v211) / 12), i came to realize it was int ((v211-v011)/12). That is done and it quite 100% corresponding to V212. Thank for that.

There are two variables (BIDX$01 and BORD$01) that link the child's birth. To me, the the former (BIDX$01) refers to the 'most recent' birth and later (BORD$01) refers to the 'older' child. The 'older' child is what i consider to be the first birth. I am asking these questions to assess the mortality level (and trend) for the FIRST BORN (who may be the 'oldest' children. Then, I will come to see their survival status (if dead, how old were they?).

Nevertheless, I thank you for your continued support.
