OOPS! sysmis on right side of assignment operator.
RECODE ALL  (LO THRU 1.0 = COPY)
             (ELSE    -999    = ).
missing values all (-999).

I think a cleaner way to do this RECODE, sidestepping having to
choose a fudge factor, is

RECODE ALL  (LO THRU 1.0 = COPY)
             (ELSE        = SYSMIS).

But actually, I think the dividing-by-zero problem is a strong reason
to do the computation in a transformation program, rather than MATRIX.
