Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Yes, in the PR file, hc70, hc71, and hc72 are the HAZ, WAZ, and WHZ, respectively, except that they include a factor of 100 and there are codes for not measured, etc. You can get those codes from the labels (the label for hc70, for example, is usually either hc70 or HC70). In the KR and BR files, the prefix is hw rather than hc and the cases are limited to the children of interviewed mothers.
