Change the coding of a variable using 'Recode into same variable' in SPSS

If you need to change the coding of a variable and prefer to replace the existing coding rather than create a new variable, use the 'Recode into same variable' option in SPSS. In this example I change the coding of Gender from 1=Male, 2=Female to 0=Male and 1=Female.
