Thank you Mam..

As per your suggestion, I thought I would look at KR file itself but i checked across and there are differences in sample and output based on filters (flagged cases, pregnant mothers exclusion, exclusion of mothers who had a birth in 2 months prior to survey as NFHS 4 report mentions)..

I have put up tabulation differences (both in sample size and output) for 4 states and its perplexing to find varying differences but I am not getting any result (even if it matches NFHS 4 report) that matches the NFHS 4 reported same sample size. (attached is word file).

The same problem in mismatch occurs when i check nutritional status of children across birth order and birth size.. This only happens when I am do such cross tabulations else individual variables have no problem.. I want a syntax that can be used irrespective of state.

Please guide
