SPSS multiple imputation with categorical variables?

07 July 2018 1 2K Report

I am using SPSS 25 to multiply impute a data set of survey data. What I notice about the categorical dummy coded variables (i.e., marital status and ethnicity), is that it has imputed a "1" for more than one category in some cases. It has in essence imputed a case as being 'married, divorced, and separated'. Any suggestions?

I think I figured it out - just leave as categorical and not dummy coded - SPSS codes appropriately
