Hi Experts,

I have question about syntax code given in your Wealth Index computation page and thanks you for sharing syntax codes.

I wanted to calculate the wealth index for Rural Bangladesh for DHS 2011 data, so downloaded a SPSS syntax from Wealth Index computation page:
(file name: bangladesh 2011 sps.pdf) from: http://www.dhsprogram.com/programming/wealth%20index/Banglad esh%20DHS%202011/bangladesh%202011%20sps.pdf

It seems to me many of the variables used in this program code are QH series variables, but Bangladesh Household recode data set has variables series with HV naming.
As for example, qh102 is "drinking water supply" in the wealth index calculation syntax, but hv201 is "supply of drinking water" is in 2011 Bangladesh Household recode spss syntax and data set. I also saw that there are differences in naming of corresponding variable names between two program codes. Could you please verify the matter and if possible to replace the above program with the right one in Wealth Index calculation page?

Thanking you in advance.
