If your data is stored as text say female and male and you want to make it numeric variable 1=Male 2=Female then follow the steps>Menu>Data>create or change data>other variable-transformation commands>Encode value labels from string variable> then choose source variable (string) and name your new numeric variable (gender2). It works so nice. I hope it helps
