New A statistics program I used to use, Statgraphics...
...([link|http://www.statgraphics.com/|it's still around, it seems]), used -32768 as code for "missing value". That's the same thing, only interpreted as a signed in stead of an unsigned integer, isn't it?

I always used to wonder what you'd do if your data actually included the actual value -32768... (OK, no, I didn't. But I could wonder what a *statistically naive* user would do. :-)

New That's the problem with using a value as a sentinel.
Although -32768 isn't *too* bad, because in a 16-bit signed integer, there isn't a +32768.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

We can probably skip drugs and prostitution, but the mortgage business looks good.
