Dear Sebastian,
I was able to go back and look at the application for Ghana DHS 1993 and found the following:
 { country specific }
  box               V716  => V717;
                       0  => 0;
             1-16, 20-21  => 1;         {Prof, tech, related}
                   30-39  => 2;         {Clerical}
                   40-49  => 3;         {Sales workers}
                      61  => 4;         {Agric, self employed}
               60, 62-65  => 5;         {Agricultural employee}
                   52,54  => 6;         {Household & Domestic}
          50,51,53,55-59  => 7;         {Services}
             70-92,95,96  => 8;         {Skilled manual}
                94,97,98  => 9;         {Unskilled manual}
                    998   => 98;        {Don't know}
                 MISSING  => MISSING;   {Missing}
                          => DEFAULT;
  endbox;


I don't think this is enough and in this case the Ghana Statistical Service would be your best option. If you give me a list of the other surveys you are interested in, I can check to see if we have additional documentation for any of those.
