I think there are two issues:
1) In your code you are using:
IF (MIDX EQ 1 AND B19 LE 24) birth2 = 1.
but this should be LESS THAN (LT) 24
IF (MIDX EQ 1 AND B19 LT 24) birth2 = 1.
If I use this code and then tabulate birth2 (with weights on) I have 6616 cases of birth2 = 1, matching the report.
2) I think your further code is then dropping some other cases that should be kept, probably because on of the variables is still set to SYSMIS. I didn't try to work out where exactly the problem is.
