returns=B

Dear users,

I would like to replace returns with missing value instead of B. Of course the format of returns variable named retx_ben is numeric. Please see the file attached.

Many thanks in advance

The variable RETX_BEN is numeric, and so the value that appears as B is actually numeric, it is a special missing value which in code would appear as .B. If you need to test if the value is .B, you could use something like this:

if retx_ben = .B then do;

if missing(rex_ben) then do;

So really, nothing for you to do, the values of RETX_BEN are already missing.
