Hi,
To my surprise a MISSING VALUES does not work.
I ave a metric variable with the missing values 7 8 9 and want to
add the value of 3 to the list of missings.
So, I tried first the first command, and as this did not work
then the others in this list :
miss val political (3, 7 , 8, 9).
miss val political (3 thru 9).
miss val political (3 thru hi).
And never the 3 becomes missing !
Are there limits to the number of missing a variable can have ? I
looked into the doc , but did not find info about an eventual
limit.
You can have only a maximum of 3 dicrete missing values. This is explicitly
mentioned in Section 11.6 of the manual.
Any idea appreciated.
However, you can have a range of values plus a single discrete value. So
in your case something like:
missing values x (7 thru 9 3).
will do what you want.
