Are you sure any are missing?
Try
count if missing(cusip)
and see what you get.

Hi all,
I used the following commands to drop observations based on a string
variable - CUSIP- that takes missing values, i.e. delete observations
with missing CUSIP,
drop if cusip==""
cusip is str10
(0 observations deleted)
could you explain why "(0 observations deleted)"?
thanks,
Rochelle
