When you check for ordinary missing numeric values, you can use code that is similar to the following:
if numvar=. then do;
If your data contains special missing values, you can check for either an ordinary or special missing value with a statement that is similar to the following:
if numvar<=.z then do;

if charvar=' ' then do;

if missing(var) then do;
