PDMIX800 not running

Paulo373 — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 16:43:19 GMT

Hello everyone!

I am running SAS 9.4 on a Windows 10 x64 workstation licensed to The Ohio State University, and I am trying to use the PDMIX800 macro after a PROC MIXED analysis to generate letter‑based multiple comparison results. My code runs normally until the moment I call the macro. The PROC MIXED step executes without issues, the %include statement reads the macro file correctly, and the macro even starts processing. However, when it reaches the part that depends on SAS/IML, the execution stops and the following errors appear in the log:

PDMIX800 08.08.2003 processing

ERROR: The SAS/IML product with which IML is associated is either not licensed

for your system or the product license has expired. Please contact your

SAS installation representative.

ERROR: Bad product ID for procedure IML.

ERROR: File WORK.MSGRPZZ.DATA does not exist.

My PROC MIXED code is:
proc mixed plots=studentpanel(marginal conditional);
class heifer group time;
model le = group time group*time / outp=new1;
random heifer(group);
repeated time / type=ar(1) sub=heifer(group);
lsmeans group time group*time / diff adj=tukey;
ods output diffs=ppp lsmeans=mmm;
ods listing exclude diffs lsmeans;
run;

%include 'C:\Users\...\pdmix800.sas';

%pdmix800(ppp, mmm, alpha=.05, sort=no);
run;

Anyone could help me?

Please run these two procedures and share the LOG results. These will tell us if the SAS/IML product that the macro requires is available to your license and if it was installed.

Proc setinit;
run;

Proc product_status;
run;

The error message does state that if the SAS/IML product is not installed that the macro will not execute. So you will not get any IML dependent results. If you describe what you need someone may suggest a work around that doesn't involve IML. May. The conversion of IML to other steps may not be very easy.

I don't know that PDMIX800 macro,

but I know there's no compact letter displays (CLD) for multiple comparisons in PROC MIXED.

I suggest to store the model in an item store.

When you restore with PROC PLM, you can use the lines and linestable option on the LSMEANS statement of PROC PLM.

(The PLM procedure performs Post-fitting statistical analyses on Linear Models.)

Just a thought ...

data heights;
   input Family Gender$ Height @@;
   datalines;
1 F 67   1 F 66   1 F 64   1 M 71   1 M 72   2 F 63
2 F 63   2 F 67   2 M 69   2 M 68   2 M 70   3 F 63
3 M 64   4 F 67   4 F 66   4 M 67   4 M 67   4 M 69
;
run;

/* two-way analysis of variance */
proc mixed data=heights;
   class Family Gender;
   model Height = Gender Family Family*Gender;
   lsmeans Family / adjust=smm adjdfe=row;
store sasuser.mymixed;
run;

proc plm restore=sasuser.mymixed;
   show cov Parms;
   lsmeans Family / diff lines linestable;

Re: PDMIX800 not running

ballardw — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:24:10 GMT

The results from Proc Setinit do not show that SAS/IML is licensed. So any code including macros that make calls to SAS/IML features will not run and will throw errors.

That means finding a work-around to use instead of that macro. If an instructor or other said that macro needs to be used then talk to that person about access to SAS/IML.
