Dear User,
The birth history for the Indonesia DHS 2012 had a maximum of 20 entries. The questionnaire shows 12 columns of entries, but if there are more, the interviewer is instructed to use another questionnaire. The birth history entry program allows for 24 but in this case the maximum was 20.
This is why the SPSS variables you reference have the $01 through $20, for example (B11$01-B11$20). There is at least one case in the dataset where there were 20 entries (children). This is my understanding.
