99 as values for variables that should not be missing values?

[Cassiopeia]

Before, some of my data was recorded correctly, but other parts were recorded as 99 (at least for all my fill-in-the-blank and essay data; I can't remember for sure if my scale response data is also being recorded as the missing value). I've run normal sessions without aborting them early, and have tried it with and without "Write as Text" checked. Help??
