Hello, I'm currently using a compilation of individual Peru data from 2003-2011. There seems to be a problem with the raw variables v613, v627, v628, and v629. According to the DHS recode manual, v613 (ideal number of children) is supposed to be the sum of v627(ideal number of boys)+ v628(ideal number of girls) +v629 (ideal number of any sex), but the numbers are way off.

For example, 53,526 women said they their ideal number of boys would be 0 in variable v627, but 3891 respondents said their ideal number of children would be 0 in v613.

Any help would be much appreciated.
