Cannot change missing value representation once one is entered


In the VIEWTABLE window or with the Data Table or Data Form objects within a SAS/AF FRAME entry, you cannot change to another missing value representation once one has been entered.

For example, you may be using special missing values A, B, and C to denote different missing values for a numeric column. If you type A in the numeric column and press ENTER, the A should remain. But if you then type a B in the same column and press ENTER, the B will be removed and A will display again.

To circumvent the problem, type a non-missing value in the field and press ENTER. Then you can type in whichever missing value representation you need.
