Thank you for your reply it has clarified the problems. I have questions for a stata code I have used to calculate stillbirths and it has worked but I am second guessing if it exactly applies.

I have calculated total stillbirths using the IR file.

use caseid v001 v002 v003 v005 v008 v011 v013 v017 v018 v021 v022 v023 v024 v025 v106 v190 v231 v242 b3*
> vcal_1 using"C:PKIR71FL.DTA", clear

. gen stillbirths = regexm(vcal_1,"TPPPPPP")

.
.
.
. gen early_neonatal_deaths = 0

.
. gen infant_deaths = 0

.
. gen child_deaths = 0

.
.
.
. * rename birth variables for use in forvalues loop

.
. rename b*_0* b*_*

.
.
.
. * Any early neonatal deaths, infant deaths, child deaths

.
. forvalues b = 1/20 {
2.
. * early neonatal - days 0-6
.
. replace early_neonatal_deaths = 1 if inrange(b6_`b',100,106)
3.
. * infant - from birth trough age 11 months
.
. replace infant_deaths = 1 if inrange(b6_`b',100,211)
4.
. * child from 12 months up through 4 completed years
.
. replace child_deaths = 1 if inrange(b6_`b',212,304)
5.
tab stillbirths = 261 (also after using the iweight command)

the table Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18 shows a total of 249 stillbirths.

Can you please guide where I might be making an error?
