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

It appears that you tried to calculate mother's age at the birth using the IR (women's) file. In that file, b3 occurs many times, as b3_01, b3_02, etc., for the different births the woman had. You want to use the KR file, in which there is one record per child and b3 gives the cmc of birth of that specific child. Let us know if you still have a problem.
