Syntax to obtain variable information about cluster membership

Dear all,

In 'IBM SPSS Statistics 19 Statistical Procedures Companion' Norusis
noted: "To see how clusters differ on the variables used to create them,
save the cluster membership number using the Save command and then use the
Means procedure, specifying the variables used to form the clusters as the
dependent variables and the cluster number as the grouping variable"

I have two questions:

1) Is it possible to obtain information about the variables when the
variables are binary?

2) if so, I was hoping someone could advise me regarding the syntax to
obtain information about cluster composition, assuming variables var1 ....
var11). I assume the use of the means command would not apply for binary
data.

Any assistance is appreciated,

Bob
