Removing a row with blank cells of a string variable

[fevziesen]

I have 100 rows and 10 variables.

one of variables is a string variable. I want to remove the rows which have blank value.

See examples of SELECT IF in the "fine manual" (FM).

I have looked many examples. my aim is only to drop variables which have no value or missing. I wanna choose only variables which have any value..

like this :

[Maguin, Eugene]

Compute blank=0.
If (char.length(TargetStringVariable) eq 0) blank=1.
Select if (blank eq 0).
Execute.
