Specifying Ranges of Missing Values<br />

A range of values can be specified as missing for numeric variables but not for string variables.<br />

• The keyword THRU indicates an inclusive list of values. Values must be separated from<br />

THRU by at least one blank space.<br />

• The keywords HIGHEST and LOWEST with THRU indicate the highest and lowest values<br />

of a variable. HIGHEST and LOWEST can be abbreviated to HI and LO.<br />

• Only one THRU specification can be used for each variable or variable list. Each THRU<br />

specification can be combined with one additional missing value.<br />

Example<br />

MISSING VALUES V1 (LOWEST THRU 0).<br />

• All negative values and 0 are declared missing for the variable V1.<br />

Example<br />

MISSING VALUES V1 (0 THRU 1.5).<br />

• Values from 0 through and including 1.5 are declared missing.<br />

Example<br />

MISSING VALUES V1 (LO THRU 0, 999).<br />
