count nmiss = var1 to var8 (missing,sysmis).
frequencies vars=nmiss.
select if nmiss eq 0.
save outfile = 'c:\to_amos.sav'.

However, this gives you a listwise deletion. Be sure that is what you want, i.e, that you exclude variables with large numbers of missing values, etc.

the general syntax is
COUNT varname=varlist(value list)
    [/varname=...]

Numeric value list keywords
LOWEST (LO)
HIGHEST (HI)
THRU
MISSING
SYSMIS

I am trying to run AMOS and obtain modification indices, but I can only
do that if there are no missing data.  How do I select only those
observations that contain no missing data to run my data? Please reply
to my email address at lhoward@mtsu.edu. Thanks. L. Howard
