SetVarCMissingValues Method (Python)

.SetVarCMissingValues(varName,missingVal1,missingVal2,missingVal3). Sets user-missing values for a new string variable. The argument varName is a string specifying the name of a new string variable. The optional arguments missingVal1, missingVal2, and missingVal3 are strings, each of which can specify one user-missing value. Use the SetVarNMissingValues method to set missing values for new numeric variables.

• This method is only available in write mode.

Example

cur=spss.Cursor(accessType='w')
cur.SetVarNameAndType(['strvar'],[8])
cur.SetVarCMissingValues('strvar',' ','NA')
cur.CommitDictionary()
cur.close()
