Narrative:

We entered the ILS 19R at mci into the FMC; and the first officer briefed arrival and approach. I flowed along on the legs pages. We noticed that there was a discontinuity on the missed approach; so he reloaded the approach which solved the problem. While on the approach; we noticed the discontinuity had reappeared. I said that I would give him directions if we needed to go missed and not to follow the LNAV.we went through mci a second time this day; and still needed to shoot the ILS approach. We went through all our programming and briefing and the same thing occurred the second time too. The legs page shows 19R; 2;000 altitude; a 240 heading -----route discontinuity----(intc); 225 course to rugbb.
