The min function returns the non-missing min of the variables whose values
are not missing so use

min_value = min(of v1-v10);

min_value = min(of v: );

Dear All,

I have 10 numerical variables which are V1-V10.

I want to get the min value of the non missing value from V1-V10.

For example. If V1 is missing and V2-V10 is not missing, then

min_value = min(of v2-v10);

How could I achieve this by simple functions?

Thanks
