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

The Stata program should be replaced with a version dated June 4 (NFHS1_calculate_hc71_in_5_states_4June2024.txt). I have prepared a corrected dta file with the hc71 scores for the five states that measured height, but not weight (iahw22fl_supp_waz.dta). Sorry for not having adequately tested the earlier versions.

I will also note that in iahw22fl.dta, the original file with the Z scores for all states, the value labels for hc70, hc71, and hc72 all assign the label "height out of plausible limits" to code 9996. That is, even for hc71, weight-for-age, the value label refers to height.
