Hello,
You should use the endy option. It allows indicating the last calendar year used for the computation of the rates.
If you want to compute the TFR for the year 2011 only, use:
tfr2, endy(2011) len(1)
You can also compute it for a 3-year period (from 2010 to 2012) in this way.
tfr2, endy(2012) len(3)
Or on a 5-year period
tfr2, endy(2013) len(5)
These rates will all be centered on mid 2011. The results will not vary much across methods (around 2.3), except for the 45-49 age group.
