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

In some surveys ".a" appears for different variables but it should be grouped with ".". Both of these codes mean Not Applicable or NA. There must have been a flaw in some editing program and it appeared in multiple surveys before being corrected.

There are many more children in the KR file than there are children under five years of age in the PR file. According to b9, most of these children are living with the mother and SHOULD BE in the PR file. Many of the children in the KR file are missing a value of hw1 (months of age), which should not happen.

We will add a more complete explanation as soon as we have one!
