I am currently analyzing some aspects of the Cambodia DHS 2010 in SPSS 19. I have a question with regards to the Individual Women's data (IR).

There are a few variables with respect to Maternity that contain $1 - $6 in the code. For example, variable M2A which is 'Prenatal: doctor or medical assistant' is described on the file as M2A$1 - M2A$6 but only M2A$1 has 6445 valid entries while there remaining ones M2A$2-M2A$6 have zero valid entries. For variable M3A 'Type of person who assisted the delivery of the child' the same applies but M3A$1 has 6442 entries, M3A$2 has 1619, M3A$3 has 141, M3A$4 has 7 valid entries and the remaining two M3A$5-M3A$6 have 0 entries.

What is the difference between the variables (i.e. between M2A$1 - M2A$6)
