Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

To answer a question such as your first one, go to the IR file and enter this line:

. describe v034

You will get the following:

/index.php?t=getfile&id=1875&private=0

What's important here is that there is a value label, and it is V034. Then enter this line:

. label list V034

You will get the following:

V034:
0 husband not in household

Variable labels are usually the same as the variable name, either all caps (as in V034) or lower case (as in v034). That answers your first question.

The answer to the second question is "yes". Unless otherwise specified in the questionnaire, the same kinds of information are obtained about all adults on the household roster, whether they are de jure or de facto residents. The information comes from the "household respondent", the household member whose line number is given by hv003 in the PR file.
