Following is another response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

The variable b6 has 3 digits. The first digit (counting from the left) is 1 if the units of measurement are days, 2 if months, 3 if years. This is mapped into b7, which is month. These are completed units. A child that dies in the first day has b6=100, for "units are days, and no days were completed" . That is, the death was on day 0. I believe that is the code you are looking for. I don't understand where "0.01" came from.
