Betreff: st: 回复： st: re: missing string entry

i typed 

replace nosocomial_infection = "NULL" if mi(nosocomial_infection)

and it says "unknown function mi()".
what does this mean? how solve it? I want to change all the missing string variables into "null", do i type the following?

replace _all = "NULL" if mi(_all)

Best wishes
Lydia
