I would appreciate advice on the following problem:

I have a logistic regression of  a dichotomous DV on age cut into
three categories: old, middle, and young.
The age variable is entered in form of two dummy independent variables,
(along with several control variable):
1. Old & Young are coded 0, and Middle is coded 1.
2. Old is coded as 1, and Middle & Young are coded as 0.
Each of the dummy independent variables yields a b coefficient.

What is the most efficient way within SPSS to test the difference between the
two coefficients?
