explain this: Before we ask SPSS Statistics to run our regression analysis, make sure you set the decimal places for your new variable (WHITE) to 0. In addition, you may want to provide a brief description of the variable and define the values and labels (e.g., "white" and "not white"). Again, it wouldn't hurt to take a look in the Data View window to verify that your coding is accurate: Cases with a 1 for RACE should also have a 1 for WHITE, and cases with a 2 or 3 for RACE should have a 0 for WHITE
