I don't know what particular procedure this is. Some PSPP procedures have settings for how they process missing values.
If not, you can always select just the valid values and analyze those. If you don't want to discard the missing values permanently, you can use TEMPORARY to do it for just one procedure. In syntax, this looks something like: TEMPORARY. SELECT IF VALID(age). DESCRIPTIVES age. /* or whatever procedure you're using.
