The "6" in the documentation means that this survey followed the DHS-6 standard recode, even though it is under the DHS "7" phase/contract. Many of the early surveys that have "7" as the 5th character in the filenames are actually DHS-6 surveys, in terms of the standard recode structure used. For most rounds of DHS, there is a lag of a couple of years between the beginning of a new phase/contract of DHS, which is determined by the dates of the contract with USAID, and the implementation of the new standards (recode programs) for that phase.
