The dataset you are using has over 2,048 variables. IC or "inter-cooled" version of Stata cannot handle more that 2,048 variables, so I strongly recommend that you get an upgrade to Stata SE. To accommodate more variables in Stata SE, please use the following command: set maxvar 20000
If you cannot upgrade, a simple workaround is to download the .do, .dct, and .dat (flat ASCII data) that are used to construct the .dta file, edit the .do and .dct files by deleting big blocks of variables, and then reconstruct the .dta file. Or you can use IPUMS-DHS at www.idhsdata.org, to create a subset of the dataset, with fewer than 2048 variables, which can then be opened in Stata/IC.
