'Floating Point Overflow.' in PROC TRAJ

Hi Guys,

Good afternoon from Australia. I was trying to run a trajectory modelling using the following syntax:

PROC TRAJ DATA=QTCSTraj OUTPLOT=OP OUTSTAT=OS OUT=OF OUTEST=OE ITDETAIL ALTSTART;
ID StudyCODE; VAR BODYSHAPE5 BODYSHAPE10 BODYSHAPETEEN BODYSHAPE20 BODYSHAPE30 BODYSHAPE40 BODYSHAPE50 BODYSHAPE60 BODYSHAPE70; INDEP M1-M9;
MODEL CNORM;
NGROUPS 2; MIN 1; MAX 9;
ORDER 1 1 ;
RUN;

But it comes with :

ERROR: Floating Point Overflow.
ERROR: Termination due to Floating Point Exception

Google says this error is subjected to exceptionally large or small numbers, which I don't have in my data.

Can you help me why this is not running?

Cheers

Sabbir

Hello @strqimr,

Your question requires more details before experts can help. Can you revise your question to include more information?

Review this checklist:

Specify a meaningful subject line for your topic. Avoid generic subjects like "need help," "SAS query," or "urgent."
When appropriate, provide sample data in text or DATA step format. See this article for one method you can use.
If you're encountering an error in SAS, include the SAS log or a screenshot of the error condition. Use the Photos button to include the image in your message.
It also helps to include an example (table or picture) of the result that you're trying to achieve.

To edit your original message, select the "blue gear" icon at the top of the message and select Edit Message. From there you can adjust the title and add more details to the body of the message. Or, simply reply to this message with any additional information you can supply.

SAS experts are eager to help -- help them by providing as much detail as you can.

While PROC TRAJ is a SAS procedure, it was not written by SAS. You will need to contact the authors of the procedure for help. Clicking on the contact link here should send the author an email.
