Hello,
I was calculating the age in months of the most recent child born in the last five years in the IR file using the code: gen age = v008 - b3_01. I replaced the 'age' variable with a '.' when b5_01 is 0. hw1_1 in the same file also gives us the age in months, but when I run the code 'compare age hw1_1 if v208!=0', there are differences between the two variables. Why is it so? It is mentioned in the VI recode that HW1 is calculated from the country month code of the date of interview less the century month code of the date of birth of the child. I have followed the same thing for calculating the 'age' variable, even then there are differences.
Please help.
