MISSING Subcommand (RANK command)

MISSING controls the treatment of user-missing values.

INCLUDE. Include user-missing values. User-missing values are treated as valid values.

EXCLUDE. Exclude all missing values. User-missing values are treated as missing. This is the default.

Example

MISSING VALUE SALARY (0).
RANK VARIABLES=SALARY /RANK INTO SALRANK /MISSING=INCLUDE.

• RANK generates the new variable SALRANK.
• INCLUDE causes the user-missing value 0 to be included in the ranking process.
