This appears to be an SAS program that would let you take your second round data and get the z-scores under the old standards, if you have raw height (say, in centimeters) in your newer data.

Another trick might be to generate a fake dataset with all possible heights, and then use that SAS program above to back out the real heights of the kids in the old data from their z-score, and use that height to calculate new WHO standards for them.
