Jacob Wegelin posted a program based on repeated -tabulate-s to
check whether a variable contains any missing values.
Eva Poen suggested -count if missing(varname)-
David Airey suggested -assert missing(varname)- or -assert
!missing(varname)-.
Martin Weiss suggested -mdesc-, a user-written program by Rose Ann
Medeiros.
Kit Baum pointed out that no program is necessary as you can loop over
your variables using -foreach-.
Those who answered are all correct. Nevertheless, a convenience wrapper
for Kit's approach is downloadable as -nmissing-.
