Kate, it is a bad practice to use point and click commands in SPSS or Stata or any other software. One of the basic tenets of science is that results should be reproducible. When using point and click you are not able to reproduce your results and you have no documentation of your analysis. We recommend that you always use syntax files to document your analysis and allow it to be reproduced.

Also, if you are used to using Stata, why are you working in SPSS? All DHS datasets are available for both SPSS and Stata.
