Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

I believe there are two possible reasons why you are not getting a match. The first is that you need to use sampling weights. The weights are given by v005. Please read up on weights elsewhere in the forum or in our documentation.

Second, the KR file has all births in the past five years, including children who have died. To get the surviving children you need to include (in Stata, not SPSS) "if b5==1". I believe you will be able to replicate the table with those changes.

Please let us know if you still cannot match.
