b6 gives the age at death as a 3 digit number with the first digit being the units (1=days, 2=months, 3=years, 9=special answers). For example b6=203 would mean 3 months.
b7 gives the age at death computed in months from the information in b6, with missing age at death in b6 randomly imputed.
We use b7==0 for neonatal deaths in DHS tabulations.
