Here are comments fron Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The children's variables are in the KR file and the domestic violence variables (d*) are in the IR file. You must have done a merge, and I suspect that your problem is with the merge. Sometimes a merge can end up with an empty file. How many cases do you have in the merged file? Can you calculate the desired means WITHOUT the svy command?

Another comment. The pweight option does not require that you divide v005 by 1,000,000. Pweights are automatically normalized to have a mean of one. You could multiply or divide v005 by any number whatever, and it would not alter the results.
