ID variables for Children [message #10048]

I remember a couple of years ago I was told not to use just the caseid variable in the birth recode file so I created a unique id for each child: file_country_code file_dhs_phase caseid bidx

Out of curiosity, why do two kids (unique in terms of "id" or "uniqid") with the same caseid?
