Hi Mercy,

Your problem is two fold:
1) You are not selecting the de facto sample - you need to select on hv103==1
2) You should use iweights, not aweights. In fact we actually recommend that you use the svy commands in general, but for a simple crosstab like this iweights will suffice. Other posts in the forum describe the svy commands.

The following commands will produce the results to match the report:
generate weight= hv005/1000000
tab hv105 hv104 if hv103==1 [iweight = weight]
