Hello,
Fertility rates in DHS reports are usually computed for the 3 years preceding the survey.
you should use the option len(3) instead of len(5). I did a quick comparison for a few sates, and my results match the figures in the report in the states I checked.
tfr2 if v024==`d', len(3) norates
Best regards.
