The post to which you have referred to is about a different indicator than what is in Table 5.6 in Cameroon's 2011 Final Report.
After searching through the dataset for variables that refer to abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth, there are only a few:
s229a "Number of pregnancies misscarried or aborted"
s229ba "Number of pregnancies aborted"
s229bb "Number of pregnancies misscarried"
s229bc "Number of pregnancies ended with stillbirth"
You will need these variables to match Table 5.6. Additionally, if you read the table description beneath the table title you will find clues for what to include in your denominator. Table 5.6 in Cameroon's 2011 Final Report only refer to women who have ever had sex, therefore you will need variable v525.
Here is some Stata code that matched Table 5.6:
gen abort = 0 if v525>0
replace abort = 1 if s229ba>0 & s229a!=. & v525>0
tab abort [iw=v005/1000000]
gen miscarry = 0 if v525>0
replace miscarry = 1 if s229bb>0 & s229a!=. & v525>0
tab miscarry [iw=v005/1000000]
gen stillbirth = 0 if v525>0
replace stillbirth = 1 if s229bc>0 & s229bc<. & v525>0
tab stillbirth [iw=v005/1000000]
