Can you help me to prepare a survey set for Pakistan DHS 2012-13. i made a survey set command in STATA. Please check my commands.

************************************************************ *****
//survey set preparation
************************************************************ *****
//Description of variables included in surveyset preperation
*v001: cluster number
*v023: stratification used in sample design
*v025: place of residence
*v005: women's individual sample weight (6 decimals)

gen psu=v001
gen strata = v023

gen sampwt=v005/1000000
svyset psu [pw = sampwt], strata(strata)
************************************************************ *****

Any comment on it will help me to work with the data set (individual record).
Thank you.

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Those commands are correct. However, in Stata, the results for pweight will be exactly the same with either v005 or v005/1000000 (try it both ways and you will see that). Also, you do not have to create the new variables. The following command would be sufficient:

svyset v001 [pw = v005], strata(v023)
