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

What file are you using? The KR file is for children born in the past 5 years and should have a numerical code (hw1=v008-b3) for all cases in the file. However, this variable also appears in the BR file, where it is coded with a dot (for NA or not applicable) for children born earlier. The BR file includes ALL births in the birth histories. Perhaps you are looking at the BR file?
