Dear User,
are you looking at unweighted or weighted data? Most of the tables in our final reports use weighted data. If this is not the problem, please post again.
From The Standard Recode Manual:

Quote:

V005 Sample weight is an 8 digit variable with 6 implied decimal places. To use the sample
weight divide it by 1000000 before applying the weighting factor. All sample weights are
normalized such that the weighted number of cases is identical to the unweighted number of
cases when using the full dataset with no selection. This variable should be used to weight
all tabulations produced using the data file. For self-weighting samples this variable is equal
to 1000000.

Thank you!
