Transferring saved missing values to another file
Sent by: "SPSSX(r)

Hello,
Is it possible to copy designated missing values in one SPSS data
file to another. The data contains a number of values which vary per
variable that I wanted to designate as missing. If X.sav is the
original file can I via syntax designate the same values as missing
in X2.sav, assuming common variable names across files?
An alternative, assuming such a method was available, would be to
update X based on values on X2, where there was a difference in X2
compared to X.
Assistance with either option is appreciated.
Bob
