For Primary Major Name, what's the difference between blank and Undeclared?

Looking at UG Primary Major Name Current in Enrollment we see blank major names and 'Undeclared%' major names.  What is the difference?

Blank major names are an error or an artifact of something else that's weird on the record. Except for pre-ISIS records, where blank majors are probably more common than completed rows. Modern records (Fall 1991 and later) generally should always have a primary major code, and so a Primary Major Name.
