A variable in a dataset is of type numeric, but shows a value 'C' when viewed or printed. Format is best12.

SAS Output:

      10  
      21  
      27  
      12  
      C  
      10  
      16  

 

 

What does it mean? Is it missing? How do I exclude such values?

Its a special missing, you may find this paper helpfull:

http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi31/025-31.pdf

 

And you can use the missing() function:

Or check specifically for that.
