Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Tom Pullum:

The DHS standard recode files are in Stata format (dta), SPSS (.sav), and SAS (.sas7bdat). Data files with the extension ".dat" are in ascii (text) format. Software exists to convert from one of these formats to another or to other formats.
