Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Median age at first marriage is a characteristic of women and is calculated with the IR file. The KR file consists of children born in the past 5 years and is not used for this purpose. In the program, lines 67-78 calculate two scalars related to the integer ages that bracket the median age, prior to interpolation to get the fractional median age. For example, if the median age is 27.41, the two scalars will be 27 and 28. These lines are ok.

Please try the program again on the IR file and let us know if you get an error message.
