Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

I assume you are talking about cluster-level variables that are constructed on the basis of the data on the households or individuals within the cluster. In Stata, cluster-level variables can be constructed either with the "egen" set of commands or with a combination of "collapse" and "merge". I do not know how to do this in SPSS and hope someone else can help.

It would help if you could be more specific about what you want to do, and for which survey.
