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

Those rates were published in the original reports. Why do you want to re-calculate them?

The under-5 rates are calculated from the BR file and the only variables they use are v005, v008, v011, b3, and b7. All of those variables are in IABR23FL.dta and IABR42FL.dta. I have no idea why the program you are using (which is not a DHS program) is unable to produce the rates.
