I bet the code is a "7". That's the most common. And it is the same as the box # so you might miss it. Otherwise ask the issuer for a corrected 1099R.
If you received a Form 1099-R with no distribution code in box 7 of the form, you need to contact the Payer to get a corrected 1099-R.
VolvoGirl indicated, it's common for people to fail to see the code present in box 7 when it happens to be the same numeral as the box number.
