Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Very sorry--somehow the line "scalar sfactor=B[1,1]/B[1,2]" was dropped. Please see below. Hope this will do what you want.

gen unwtd=1000000 
total unwtd hv005 
matrix B=e(b) 
matrix list B 
scalar sfactor=B[1,1]/B[1,2]
scalar list sfactor 
gen hv005_PR=round(sfactor*hv005)
