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

You should not need to include the match of v003 with h60 (mom_line). Within a household, the match on b16 and hvidx should be sufficient. However, I think your merge is doing what you want.

If you are merging the KR file with the PR file, you can include (when preparing the PR file) a line such as "keep if hc1<." (there's a dot or period after the 1). Only those household members with hc1 less than a dot are age-eligible to be in the KR file.
