There is a question on "reason for not using contraception" in DRC 2013-2103 DHS. I cannot figure out the skip pattern for this question. It's been asked from about 6000 women. Non-users are more than this and non-users who don't want children in next 2 years are much less than this number. The question is not in the questionnaire in the appendix of the final report ( or I could not find it!). Any ideas how I can figure out the skip pattern?
The variable names are V3A08A-Z .

Dear User,
Take a look at Q709 in the questionnaire. This is an alpha variable with codes A - Z. In the recode, each one of these variables has been recoded to its own numeric variable with value labels: 0 No, 1 Yes, 9 Missing
{ reasons for not using a method }
if length( strip(Q709) ) then { if applicable }
V3A08A = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "A" ); { not married }
V3A08B = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "B" ); { not having sex }
V3A08C = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "C" ); { infrequent sex }
V3A08D = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "D" ); { menopausal/hysterctomy }
V3A08E = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "E" ); { subfecund/infecund }
V3A08F = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "F" ); { postpartum/amenorrheic }
V3A08G = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "G" ); { breastfeeding }
V3A08H = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "H" ); { fatalistic }
V3A08I = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "I" ); { respondent opposed }
V3A08J = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "J" ); { husband/partner opposed }
V3A08K = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "K" ); { others opposed }
V3A08L = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "L" ); { religious prohibition }
V3A08M = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "M" ); { knows no method }
V3A08N = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "N" ); { knows no source }
V3A08O = notappl; { !! health concerns, in DHS-VI joined with next variable }
V3A08P = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "O" ); { fear of side effects/health concerns }
V3A08Q = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "P" ); { lack of access/too far }
V3A08R = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "Q" ); { costs too much }
V3A08S = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "T" ); { inconvenient to use }
V3A08T = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "U" ); { interferes with body's norma process }
V3A08U = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "R" ); { preferred method not available }
V3A08V = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "S" ); { no method avialble }
V3A08W = notappl; { !!CS }
V3A08AA = notappl; { !!CS }
V3A08AB = notappl; { !!CS }
V3A08AC = notappl; { !!CS }
V3A08AD = notappl; { !!CS }
V3A08X = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "X" ); { other }
V3A08Z = alfa2num( 1, Q709, "Z" ); { don't know }
endif;
