variable coding error

Adam B. Troy
Has anyone encoutered a variable dummy coding errors while doing a logistic
regression on a large sample with categorical and continuous predictors?
For some reason, when I identify some variables as categorical variables in
the binary logistic regression function, SPSS 11.5 decides not to dummy code
them, and I end up having to do it myself.  Its not a major problem because
I can do it manually, but its a pain.  Thanks.  --Adam
