Dear Tom,
Now that I am working with the children's file (KR file), I am using the sample weights for calculating percentages on stunting, wasting and underweight of the children in Bangladesh. I computed a new variable to be able to work with the sample weights: V005/1000000.
For the years 2004, 2007 and 2014 Bangladesh I had no problems, but for Bangladesh 2011 I am getting an error saying that not all cases have sample weights or these are zero or negative. So I ran a frequency table to check this but there seems to be a positive sample weight for each and every case. I tried this again and again but I am still getting the same error (see below) and I do not understand why that is. Could you please advise what to do?
>Warning # 3211
>On at least one case, the value of the weight variable was zero, negative, or

I hope you can help! Thanks again,
Rachel
