Yes, that seems to be the case in the data. All of the daughters are alive. It is not very explicit in the questionnaire, but if you look at the filter in 909 in the questionnaire, there is a filter so that the questions are only asked if there is at least one living daughter. Additionally, the question asks about daughters, implying they are alive. The interviewers instructions were probably explicit in regard to this, but I think it is clear that these questions were only asked about living daughters.

I also tested to check with the following code, which is a bit shorter than your and may be useful to you:

compute bindex = $sysmis.
compute bstatus = $sysmis.
do repeat bord=bord$01 to bord$15 /status=b5$01 to b5$15 /idx=1 to 15 .
+  do if (bord = g109).
+   compute bindex=idx. 
+   compute bstatus = status.
+  end if.
end repeat.
freq bstatus bindex.
