You would take B3 of the child you want to know the number of older brothers/sisters for. You then look, in the birth history, how many brothers/sisters have a value of B3 smaller than the child you want to know the number of older brothers/sisters for.

Easier than that even would be to use the birth order of the child (BORD). You then know directly the total number of older children. Please note that there are twins (or even triplets) also.
