I know but I don't understand. This is why I ask.
Does it mean that all kinds of missing types produce blanks ?
Or that user missing value are set to sysmiss ?
I understand it to mean the latter. It seems to be saying that user-missing values will be recoded into - in the case of numeric variables: system missing values; OR - in the case of string variables: values containing all blanks. I will check the code to make sure my understanding is correct. Maybe we need to reword the manual to make this clearer.
