Use the child recode, look at variable HW70 - that is the HAZ score using the WHO standards. See the recode manual here: http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG4/Recode5DHS_23August2012 .pdf

If Togo 1998 doesn't have HW70 because it is too old, in Stata type "findit zscore06" - with that package you can calculate your own z-scores from the WHO standards using the age, gender, and raw height variables in the child recode.
