I am using the 2003/04 Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator Survey, the 2007/08 Tanzania AIDS Indicator Survey (AIS) and the 2011/12 AIS
The sample size in the 2003/04 individual recode file (IR): tzir4afl.dta is 12,522. The line number of husband variable (v034X) variable is wide and there are no observations in v034_5 - v034_8. Tabulating v034_1 - v034_4 reveals that:
v034_1 v034_2 v034_3 v034_4

36 2 2
39 1 1
42 1 1
43 1 1

Total 7,422 300 36 5 7,763
When you reshape the file ( gen id = _n; reshape long v034_ , i(id) j(linenum) and tabulate you get v034_ = 7,763 but the dataset increases to 50,088 records with 42,325 missing observations for the v034_ variable.
What do I need to do so that the sample size for the reshaped file is NOT 50,088?
When I create a variable (gen v034= .) and use the replace command to group the multiple husband line number categories, I get 12,522 records (7422+ 5100), which is not correct,
tab v034_

36 2 0.03 99.96
39 1 0.01 99.97
42 1 0.01 99.99
43 1 0.01 100
Total 7,422 100
Another thing I tried was to spilt the dataset into 4 files: one for v034_1, one for v034_2, one for v034_3, and one for v034_4 and then merge the files. Doing so I obtain 12,863 records (7763 + 5100 missing or 12522+341)
Which is the correct way to reformat this dataset so that I only have one variable v034?
I am attaching the do file.
Thanks
