There has to be a code.  The most common code is a 7.  Same as the box number.

Box 7 on the Form 1099-R must have a code entered by the Payer.  You will have to contact the Payer and get a corrected Form 1099-R if there is no code in box 7.

However, are you sure that there is not a code in box 7?  Many Form 1099-R's will have a code of 7 in box 7 and may cause some to think there is not a code.
