Can DEFAULT MISSINGS specify multiple missing values?

In DEFAULT MISSINGS, is it possible to specify that the data file may contain multiple missing-values specifications (for example, NA and NaN)? Or is the user restricted to selecting just one (for example NA or NAN)?

Yes, you can easily add more than one missing value. When you add missing values just select the plus to add additional missing values

Thanks. That's helpful. But what I'm specifically inquiring about is the "'Default' missing," field, show in the screenshot below.

Ah, It appears not. Have tried with command semi-colon. Maybe something for the developers to add.

'default missings' is something of a relic of history ... the more modern 'user missings' system is probably what you want. although i can see 'default missings' being handy to exclude 'NA'.
