?????

The error indicates that the variable is not in the dataset. Or possibly that the variable is not numeric. Remove the variable name from the MODEL statement and see what happens.

When SAS says one thing, and the user says the opposite thing, I believe SAS.

Please run PROC CONTENTS on data set TfemAsF as show us the results.

I have removed the variable but same error comes with every variable

e.g. Variable TFEMASF4 not found

or TMMOAsF4 not found at fourth repetition point it always unable to find. data file attached
