Dear Albert,

hello. thank you very much for your responce. Sorry, i could not give feedback earlier. as per your advice, i also used a command "Compute variables" on the whole sample of men. I agree that what you wrote is workable for men with sons living elsewhere and sons living at home having one son. I also received total living sons 590. But what about men who have two sons, three sons?
For example, 339 men having 2 sons at home and zero elsewhere plus 17 men having two sons elsewhere and none at home (339+17) would give us 356 men. However, in the Sonslive it is 404. maybe i did something wrong?

Would appreciate for your advice.
thank you again.
