Description

Unfortunately, after importing the data from the sav file, there are no user missing values. They are all in the form of NA analogically to the missing system data.
The package would be fully functional if import returned data as it is now, and a variant with original user missing values (i.e. 9, 99, -1). Then everyone could map the available data for use.

Research direction

No source file or test is named; begin at the SAV import entry point and inspect how user-missing values are currently converted. Done means the import behavior and the proposed original-value variant are specified and covered by tests for values such as 9, 99, and -1.
