DO IF NOT(SYSMIS)

[Maria Suchard]

Hello Fellow Listers,

I need help with the following code.
What I need this to do- is recode a variable based on if another variable has a value- therefore, the variable (subjidtfs_supp) not missing.
I am getting an error that says SYSMIS is an incorrect variable name.

Can anyone help me with what I am doing wrong with my code?
DO IF NOT(SYSMIS)(SUBJIDTFS_SUPP).
RECODE SURVTYPE (1=3) (2=4).
END IF.

With appreciation,
Maria

Take a look in the Command Syntax Reference manual (aka the FM).  Look under:

Universals > Missing values > Missing value functions > SYSMIS

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for your quick response.  I figured it out- my () we off.  Ref manual is good advice.  I will look there first next time.

Thanks again.

You need to use Sysmis as a function. Take out the ")" after "SYSMIS" and
put it before the "."

DO IF NOT(SYSMIS(SUBJIDTFS_SUPP)).
RECODE SURVTYPE (1=3) (2=4).
END IF.

I belive the syntax
DO IF NOT MISSING(SUBJIDTFS_SUPP).
...
END IF.

would catch both system missing and user defined missing values

See: Command Syntax Reference > Universals>Missing values > Missing value functions
/PR

Why not just ...?

RECODE SURVTYPE (1=3) (2=4) INTO SURVTYPE_recoded.

Good luck,
