Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

You can use the CMC date of birth of the mother, which you will subtract from the CMC date of birth of the child (B3) divided by 12;

Agec = (V011-B3)/12.

An explanation of the CMC or century month code can be found in the DHS Recode Manual.
