Hi everybody

Thank you in advance

You can use the data manipulation->Listwise menu to do this in the following way:
type "m" into the "Listwise delete on value" box
select the variables that you want to listwise delete
click "same as input"
click "add to action list"
click "execute"

Alternatively you can use the LISTwise command which has the form
LIST <value> <input columns> <output columns>

You need to put missing as the value, and choose the same input and output columns. For further details see the MLwiN help.
