Subject:      MISSING statement for more than one character length??

A data file I have contains missing values denoted by the two characters
'NA'.  I'd like to identify them as missing values before my input
statement.  However, The MISSING statement allows only single characters
as missing values (and 'N' or an 'A', but not 'NA').  Is there any way
around this limitation?
