Hello Valko,

Please do a crosstab between MV202 and MV204 in your sub-sample.

I do not have your sub-sample, but like you, I created a variable 'SONSLIV' for the total Kyrgyztan male data file using COMPUTE and produced the attached frequencies for MV202, MV204 and SONSLIV in Excel. I found 590 men with 1 child alive.
The crosstab of MV202 and MV204 (also attached) gives 526 men with 1 son at home (and none elsewhere) and 64 with 1 elsewhere (but none at home). 526 + 64 gives 590, which matches the number in 'SONSLIV'.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your problem.

Thanks,

Albert Themme
