SUM(argument,argument,
...)
|
-
argument
-
specifies a numeric constant, variable, or expression. If all
the arguments have missing values, then one of the following occurs:
-
If you use only one argument, then the value of that argument
is returned.
-
If you use two or more arguments, then a standard missing value
(.) is returned.
Otherwise, the result is the sum of the nonmissing values.
The argument list can consist of a variable list, which is preceded by OF.
