Using the IR file, try the following code:
* Any stillbirths
gen stillbirths = regexm(vcal_1,"TPPPPPP")

gen early_neonatal_deaths = 0
gen infant_deaths = 0
gen child_deaths = 0

* rename birth variables for use in forvalues loop
rename b*_0* b*_*

* Any early neonatal deaths, infant deaths, child deaths
forvalues b = 1/20 {
	* early neonatal - days 0-6
	replace early_neonatal_deaths = 1 if inrange(b6_`b',100,106)
	* infant - from birth trough age 11 months
	replace infant_deaths = 1 if inrange(b6_`b',100,211)
	* child from 12 months up through 4 completed years
	replace child_deaths = 1 if inrange(b6_`b',212,304)
}
* perinatal mortality includes stillbirths and early neonatal deaths
gen perinatal_deaths = (stillbirths | early_neonatal_deaths)

tab stillbirths
tab early_neonatal_deaths
tab infant_deaths
tab child_deaths
tab perinatal_deaths
