Hi,
Iam beginner to sas programming,cud any one pls explain about missing call function of sas with an example,
Interesting that as a SAS beginner you chose to focus on CALL MISSING...
Either way, such information can you get yourself off the shelf by a simple search, like this:
Without CALL MISSING, you would use slightly different tools to set a variable to a missing value. For numerics:
sales=.;
For character variables:
name=' ';
With CALL MISSING, you don't need to know where a variable is character or numeric. You can simply specify:
call missing(sales);
Also, CALL MISSING lets you mention many variables at a time, setting them all to missing, in a single statement.
