NODATA

[H1004]

I have a question. If I want to put n/a for no data on a define numeric field.
How can I do that??
I try to do IF field1 EQ 9 THEN AMOUNT ELSE N/A.
But I can't do that coz it is numeric and n/a is string.
And I don't think I can use set nodata = n/a coz it is within a define field.

SET NODATA = 'N/A'
DEFINE FILE MYFILE
NEW_FIELD/I9 MISSING ON = IF FIELD_1 EQ 9 THEN AMOUNT ELSE MISSING;
END
