The @cmd{AUTORECODE} procedure considers the @var{n} values that a variable
recoded. It causes a single mapping between source and target values to
be used, instead of one map per variable.
+If /BLANK=MISSING is given, then string variables which contain only
+whitespace are recoded as SYSMIS. If /BLANK=VALID is given then they
+will be allocated a value like any other. /BLANK is not relevant
+to numeric values. /BLANK=VALID is the default.
+
@cmd{AUTORECODE} is a procedure. It causes the data to be read.
