DETAILS
Setting tabfile string variables to undefined does not appear to change the current
value, or displays junk in the first character.
The example program writes
"The Old Value " (padded with blanks)
not * (missing)
EXAMPLE PROGRAM
PROGRAM TUPDATE
integer nmiss
string smiss
COMPUTE DATA = 'The Old Value'
SET DATA (SMISSING)
COMPUTE DATA = smiss
COMPUTE NUM = 3
ROW IS JUNK.TAB1TAB INDEXED BY CASE ('1')
write "Here the value of data is " ['"'+data+'"']
PUT VARS NUM
PUT VARS DATA
END ROW IS
END PROGRAM
PROGRAM
PROCESS ROWS JUNK.TAB1TAB
GET VARS ALL
write "But here the value of data is " ['"'+data+'"']
WRITE ALL
END ROW
END PROGRAM
