Dear Malayaka,
I urge you to read the FRQ, FRW, and MAP files in the zip file that also contains the data to determine the names of the variables that you need. The files with extension FRQ, FRW, and MAP can be opened in Notepad (click on the file--> right click--> open with...--> select notepad).

If you are in doubt about what the variables mean, look at the DHS Survey Questionnaire that is at the end of the Malawi Report--Appendix G (Link: http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR247/FR247.pdf ). You can also look at the DHS recode manual for even more detail on what the variables mean.

Then, you can follow the steps I posted in an earlier post on how to extract specific variables when you only have Stata IC. Link to the post here: http://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.php?t=msg&th=778&a mp;goto=1294&S=de16df2b6faf6307871c86871edc98b9#msg_1294

Alternatively, you may be able to create those tables in StatCompiler.

hth,
RHS
