Abstract: labmv changes specified values of variables in a varlist to extended missing values. Numeric values are changed to successive extended missing value codes, starting with .a. Thus the first numeric value specified will be coded .a, the second .b and so on. In value labels any text associated with numeric values will be detached from these values and instead be associated with the corresponding missing value code. Up to 26 numeric values may be specified in mv(). If varlist is not specified it defaults to _all.
