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

My code was designed for the IR file. In the KR file, there is one record for each child, and the mother's data is copied onto each of them. You want to know the number of women who had a birth (i.e. at least one birth) in the past 24 months. Here is a simple way to get that:

use "...TGKR71FL.DTA" , clear
gen wt=v005/1000000
keep if b19<24
egen sequence=seq(), by(v001 v002 v003)
keep if sequence==1
total wt

This gives a weighted total of 1315, which agrees with the much more general approach that I used with the IR file.
