Subject:      Handling non sysmiss missing values
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I am preparing data for Mplus and as such replacing my sysmiss values (.)
with a specific number value (-999)

How do I specify proc means (and other procs) to handle these specific
values as missing?
I searched for this but found nothing.
 I tried:

proc
  means data=XXX  mean range min max var skew kurt ;
  var _all_;
  MISSING -999;
run;

that did not work.

Thanks
